What input code do you use for radio in Holden Astra?

I bought a Holden TS Astra 2001 with no manual and a dead battery. To get the radio going; first up I have to pay the Holden dealership $15 to give me the PIN code with proof of ownership the VIN and my ID. What you get is four numbers. Example; 0475, on your radio face there are only 123456 numbered buttons, so number seven or eight is not on the buttons. With ignition on and radio on, press the AS button and the screen will display the four blank spaces for you to put the PIN in. With the example of 0475: the first number is 0 so press once the first button on the left which is button 1...you will see the numbers come up, continue with button number 2, press four times to get number 4 on the second blank space...press the third button (number 3) seven times to get 7 displayed on the screen and press button number 4 five times for number 5 to come up. Pressing the AS button again may or my not be necessary, but your radio should now be going and you should be able to set the time and date etc

How do you fit a power steering pump in a Vauxhall Zafira?

Take it to a garage, it's a nightmare. Entire front subframe has to be removed, big job. If the rack is trashed aswell as the pump then you're looking at silly money to repair it - I had 2 garages knock back the repair of mine for it being too costly in both parts and labour unless you can source a second hand pump/rack - there's three pumps to choose from dependant on the rack.

How do you remove the steering idler on a vauxhall omega?

Many thanks to MarksDTMCalib for info on how this is done. I have modified the technique so that I ( a mere mortal) can also do this easily.

OK, the steering idler is a short (6" long) casting that basically holds the steering 'rack' in the correct place on the passenger side. When it wears the car will wander and feel vague. Classic symptom is 'tram lining' where the car will be driving fine then suddenly veer fractionally onto a new course. Whilst not specifically dangerous yet, it is not good and should be attended to urgently.

Tools required:

A good jack, axle stand, 18mm socket, 19mm spanner, a good long strong bar - either a breaker bar or even the jack handle.

Firstly, loosen the wheel nuts, then raise the car to about 3" clear, secure on an axle stand and remove the road wheel. Start the car and turn the steering to full right lock. Turn off the engine and confirm the car is still stable.

Loosen the rear nut with an 18mm socket and a good long ratchet arm. Then loosen the 19mm nut in a similar manner. Now, remove the 19mm nut almost completely. Re-tighten the rear 18mm nut.

Insert your lever (breaker bar or good jack handle) between the chassis and the steering 'rack'. Lever down on to the steering arm to put pressure on the idler joint - which is taper fit so it will be tight. Now keeping that pressure on, hit the idler from underneath hard with a metal hammer, not rubber. You will need to hit it hard several times whilst keeping that downward pressure on the adjoining steering arm. The joint will suddenly pop loose.

Finally, undo the 19mm nut and the 18mm nut with its washer and remove the old idler. Replace with the new idler and tighten right up.

Reset steering to center before refitting the road wheel. Lower the car and tighten the road wheel. Car should no longer tram line. You may wish to have your tracking checked.
