Sorry Mike99, Forgot the engine details, It is a 1.8LS '52 registration. I thought the light might be exhaust related or somehing like that ?

It was just sections, but I can anticipate that removing some will mean that others will seize when trying to undo. Anyway, I will crawl under with wire brush and oily rag forst to clean them up.

Hi Mike99, The warning light comes on at random, sometines goes for 300 miles without coming on, other times comes on and stays on for 40 mile joourney, other time comes on mid-journey and goes off again without stopping the car. There is no pattern to it, for example, today I travelled 80 miles, no light on. If it comes on, it normally stays on for the duration of the journey. I am lost for why it is coming on.

Thanks Wolfie, I took out the Pollen Filter, quite easy really, and found it to be beyond use. Got one from Frauds (Fraud were

Hiya, Does anyone know of a decent Vauxhall Vectra forum ? I am having bother with Engine Management light flashing up on occasion on a 2002 Vectra, and would like to find a Vauxhall forum to ask for support. Thanks, Graeme

Hi, Anyone experienced replacing brake pipes from master cylinder to the rear calipers ? Is it is 3 or 4 sections ? My 1999 Galaxy has rather alot of rust on these pipes for the MOT man to agree to. What should I get charged from a local non-Fraud garage for replacing them ? Thanks, Graeme

Hi, I have a 1999 Galaxy TDI, when I stick the heater to full blast (either hot or cold), I get next to no flow through the air vents. This is same when travelling at speed, or stationary, same if I select to blow at feet, face or windsreen. There is plenty noise to suggest the blower is blowing, but it does not seem to get anywhere. Any ideas ?

Hiya, Just spent the apst hour reading this thread, I have the same problem with taking 25 minutes to get any heat through. What I also have is the noise of the heater fan (when set to top speed of 4) sounds like it is acting normal, but I dont get a great draught of air (hot or cold) through the vents. Is there any common fault that would give this fault ? Also, the glow plug for the aux heater - where do I find it on the car ? How do I check it ? - Do I just replace it regardless of condition ? Cheers, Graeme 1.9TDi Zetec

Got the pistons on the caliper pushed back with the help of a g-clamp and a pair of pipe pliers. My biggest problem was getting the correct pads from the local parts shop, as my Galaxy seems to have VW disks / calipers / most running gear. I think it was made as a Sharan and they took the badges off and stuff Fraud ones on. Car ticking away nicely now

I had a rumble in the back of the car, but there were no kids there. It was the rear pads down to the metal. No warning light though ?? The pad with the sensor was the one down to bare metal, so I might be looking at new disks too. I have the car in the garage just now and have tonight removed the OSR pads, just a wee visit to the auto shop tomorrow for the new pads. How do I push the cylinder back in ?

Just heard same metal grinding, so I bought a set of FRONT pads. But, front pads are fine. Took off rear wheels and found problem there - down to bare metal. New pads in the morning ! If I open the bleed nipple, then clamp / rotate the cylinder - clockwise or CCW as I look towards the cylinder ? Cheers (Great Forum)

Good Morning, I am just after removing rear bumper on Gal MkII, doing a bit of re-enforment behind it (where it came in contact with a concrete bollard and became mis-shaped !!). I used araldite (2 piece - resin & hardener) to re-make some of the internal trims that were damaged - anyone got experience of using another sort of adhesive on the inside of the bumper ???? Graeme

Great - I tried the method as described - brilliant !

Thanks alot - will give it a try. It has bugged me for about 4 years now !!

Hiya, Wonder if anyone can help - when I lock my Gal with the key, it automatically enables the alarm & imobiliser. If I want to leave a window 3cm open and/or leave the dog in the car (for 5 minutes, only on a cold-ish day !) - how do I do that without having the alarm going off ? Thanks, Graeme
