AnnoyingPentium

AutoDoc don't do RHD compatible headlights since the market is pretty small for them, or at least that's what I was told by them when enquiring as to whether or not they'd fit. Like @Pete_Ex-Wino, I feel an awful lot of Deja Vu 'ere. So aye, as I told you (and was told myself) then and am going to tell you now; buy the Depo branded ones off ECP and you'll be hassle free.

Offside wheel bearing of some sort I imagine then? Mine didn't wobble consistently when cornering.

The Insignia my Grampa has is the same as well I think. Throws a tantrum if there's no AdBlue.

My bearing would rumble from 30-40 and fizzle out a little, then from 60 it would come back again.

I think it will use different items, and have an extra cylinder too, since it's a 1.8T engine. I'll wait for someone to confirm whether there's any overlap with oil spec etc though.

There was some overlap. It's a late model Mk1 (the one in the link?), also the possibility of a late registration. A bit like there's a Mk1 Fabias with 57 and 08 registrations.

Team Heko... £38 off eBay with free delivery. Mine really changed my car (ignoring the other modifications).

I spoke too soon, started being a stroppy wee sod on Saturday when we went out to Auchinleck. It never moved yesterday, and when started this morning took a wee bit of encouragement as it tried to conk out again and required some effort to keep turning over. Also threatened to cut the power with the revs dipping at idle when I drove round to my Granny's (about a mile) to take her bins out. I'll go back out with the code reader(s) tomorrow and pull some 'live' information hopefully. Might tinker about with the VCDS-Lite on the spare craptop computer as well, see where I get with that.

Mine started to go with a low level rumble at random speeds. Don't rule it out entirely.

Cheers, jars. I'll have to try it if Auld Arnie Shark doesn't do it when regassing mine. My Mum gets money off services and stuff, so hoping to chance my luck.

Wheel bearing?

Never use mileage to define the condition of a car. Mine has just ticked over to just shy of 61k and is 15 years old and parts are failing of age. It's just a luck of the draw with an old car really.

"aircon bomb"??? Should I be confused or concerned?

Aye, we've went up in the world, Stewart. Was Angel's Delight last week. And might be again given how much petrol costs.

They're pretty poor. Even more so at 60k miles/15 y/o. Anyway, I shall refrain from derailing this thread with my ramblings about my hatred towards VW/AG drum brakes.

Oh it needs that. It has currently got the handling characteristics of a blancmange.

Hello and welcome to Briskoda, Mark. Enjoy the site.

Aye that's the one! It's been doing it since not long after I bought the car last March. I've got a pair of bushes there from PSB but I'm waiting until I can be bothered to fit them or until I can't stick the noise any longer.

I had this Denon setup for some time. Paired with my Fisher amp, Kenwood TT and the Sanyo speakers. All of the featured stuff is still up my loft. The white clip on the tape deck was to hold the door shut as it got smashed up in the post. It's a DRM-700 with many electrical gremlins. It's a 3-head deck though.

This would have been lost to time had it not been for me backing up all of the photographs from my old phone. I took this c.2018ish.

VCDS will probably be able to reset the light. Use the owner's map on here to find a member local to you and they'll maybe put the light out in exchange for some beer tokens etc.

May have a shot of this too. It's rather "roasty toasty" in the car all the time.

I think the console bushes on mine are original. There's a constant and consistent noise that comes anytime I go over a bump. Best way I could describe it is the way my wee brother described it... 'sounds like someone playing the bagpipes'. I've lived with it for ages, didn't come up as an advisory during the MOT test either.

And then there's the fact that the water is usually, if not always, absolutely bloody baltic, even in summer. That definitely catches a lot of folk out.

Our 2001 Vectra was alright, but it wouldn't have set the world on fire, unlike the Zafira, which most definitely will. As @DieselMonte says, Avensis, Corolla, etc aren't going to go too far wrong compared to other cars, but it's just a luck of the draw at this point. Sep is also right in saying that you should go further afield as well when looking, it allows you to leave your options a little more open and you're more likely to find something a bit more reasonable, perhaps. There you go, an Avensis.
