welll if there is rubber around the window u might do it but hard if its bonded u are at nothing take my advice get it done the labour is only about 50euro Yes This Is Correct. You Can Change A Bonded Screen DIY But It Does Take A Lot Of Care And You Need The Right Tools. Damage Can Be Caused If Removed Wrongly. Same Applies If You Use A Second Hand One You Need To Clean The Old Bonding Fully. It Would Be Quicker And Cheaper To Pay The Excess On Your Insurance And Get A Pro To Do It.

There are several posts already in this forum which may help you.If this is not the case,you should post again with more details,particularly the X*** number for your engine and the year.CDI is really an equipment level indicator.The operation varies,depending on age and whether 8V or 16V,I can't tell from the info provided.Sorry.

If it's a diesel (which Cdi suggests it is), it's quite likely it is cam-chain, and hence will not need to be changed on a regular/scheduled basis.

On the inside of the door there is a triangular trim, in the same place the mirror is on the outside.

Wind the window down, grasp the trim, and pull it off, pulling away from the door.

It will be stiff, and you may break the trim removing it.

It also goes slightly under the main door trim pad, so will require some manoeuvring to remove.

Also the trim may have a speaker for the stereo in it.

Once the trim is removed you will see 3 Torx headed screws that hold the mirror to the door.

2 are easy to remove, the 3rd is a pig to get to without removing the whole door trim.

(It can be done, if you undo the 2 easy ones first, and use a 1/4" drive ratchet with male Torx bit to undo the hard to get one, but you run the risk of dropping the tools/screw into the door! Then you have to remove the door trim anyway.)

Reassembly is the reverse of removal, but you may need some white clips to re-attach the internal trim, as they break easily.

Turn the steering wheel to the right, flip off the round plastic screw cap on the the upper section of the steering column shroud. Turn steering wheel to left and repeat on the other plastic screw cap. Remove screws and lift the upper shroud away. Locate and Remove the plastic D and C shaped screw caps from the instrument panel fascia either side of the steering column. Remove the two screws in the 'roof' of the instrument panel fascia. Ease the fascia out of the way. Remove the RH and LH instrument panel screws. Move the plastic lever on top of the panel leftwards and ease the instruments around/twist them to access the bulbs. Replace bulbs as necessary. Reverse instructions to reassemble making sure you mount the instruments straight and secure with the lever.

Opel astra is an excellent , stable ,fast and very strong car .

But there is one problem I as an owner found ,it's that opel astra is slow a bit in low gears ( first and second ) but in high gears it's very fast and stable in high speeds.

1. turn ignition on (dash warning lights on)

2. If radio turned on, turn it off.

3. Press AS button in, and hold it in while turning radio on.

4. Wait approx 10 seconds (do not release AS button).

5. Radio should beep, and display should now read 10 - - - - (assuming no tries have been made in the past with the wrong code)

6. use pre-set button "1" to scroll the first digit in the display to the number you want (it goes 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 then back to 0)

7. Use pre-set "2" for second digit, etc.

8. Once display reads 10 followed by the four digit security code press and hold AS button for about 10 seconds, until the radio beeps.

9. If correct code entered display will now read "code" briefly, followed by"memory-U" briefly, then radio will reprogram it self.

10. If radio goes back to "safe" the code number is incorrect, or you mis-keyed it.

Note: entering the code incorrectly 10 times will render the radio useless.

After the first 3 tries you need to leave the radio on and the ignition on for increasingly long periods of time before it will let you try again. 7 safe need you to wait at least 30 mins, and more like 1 hour.

You shouldn't have too much of a problem fitting a bigger engine as long as you have done your research. Find out where the engine mountings are positioned on the engine and vehicle. The main problem you will face is finding and engine that matches these engine mounts. If you find one make sure it runs off the same fuel. Do not change the engine if it runs off LPG. This would have to be done by the experts. You will either need to make or find an adapter for the bell-housing (gearbox). Other then these two set backs there should not be too much of a problem. If you are unsure of how to do this however please get a mechanic to do it as you may need to extend the body work if the wrong engine is chosen.

Apart from cleaning up a sticky idle valve,there isn't much you can do apart from mending it with a new one.

Possibly blown head gasket. Very serious condition. Have this repaired ASAP, and stop driving the car until you do.

It's a credit card sized bit of card with the key number, radio code and immobilizer code (Pin number for the alarm/engine immobilizer) on it.

You can get the info from any dealer if you show photo ID and proof of ownership. Do not pay more than £20 though. It will take about 48 hours.

There is I believe a cluster of relays above the glove box.The indicator unit is among these.You need to unscrew the glove box for access.

hi you should have a small glove box just to the right of the steering wheel, open this up you will see four quarter turn screw heads the best way to get at these is to remove the glove box,( to do this press both sides inwards it will drop down and out ) use a large screw driver or a two pence and turn to the left (i think ) you will then be able to see your fuse board.

Hope this helps Cheers Paul.
