Still haven't seen the juke make the headlines compared to the vauxhall fireballs yet.

Re: Vauxhall Cavalier ABS ECU error

The electrical part (ecu) just unplugs and unbolts from the ABS, just change it.

Re: How Safe Are New Cars?

We had a yellow facelify juke, it oddly suits yellow. Also with yellow option inside, so trims were yellow to match, seat was part yellow and yellow stitching, even yellow stiching on arm rest and instrument binnacle. We had it for 5 years from 4 months old, and the air con was the only fault it had...

Re: How Safe Are New Cars?

It must have been coolant or fuel.
The never heard of aircon rupturing like that, the gas usualy finds it way out without any big scene. The condensers is very exposed on the juke, again, it's liquid when it's in there and it just leaks away.

I'd probably still take a juke over a vauxhall.

I dont see why it's acceptable for horses.

Re: Vauxhall Insignias in Ireland

I think they went after the corporate/business look too much. The insignia just says dull to me. In china the insignia goes under the buick badge, and even more dull with the funny big grill. Ford and vauxhall seem to have lost their way with the mondeo and insignia in cetral scotland, I just dont s...

Re: VBOA 22nd to 24th July 2022

Are there any VBOA clubs left, seems to have lost meaning with vauxhall, or is it just a legacy name now.

Re: Central locking Gave up the Ghost

There are microswitches on the front locks that trigger the central locking. You should also be able to pulse the lock/unlock lines to test the system does work at all. Many remote alarms could do this too, which wires have slipped out my head right now, Rob will know, they usualy are found in the d...

Re: European Court of Human Rights

I always thought the brexit should have been an ultimatum to fix the problems areas, as there are as many good things as bad with the EU. Rather than "we're british and refuse to take orders from johnny foreigner"
