Can I take power from one side light to power the other

$

Hi, I have the ISNP2 warning light, its my drivers side side light (the little 5w bulb). Its not the wiring at the headlight and ive changed the socket. Next place to look is the fuse box or the ecu, but theyre expensive to replace just to fix one bulb. Is it possible to just take power from the passengers side light? or will this trip the canbus?

Grinding Noise Rear Left - Only On Start Up?

So yeah, as the title suggests; when I start up my Vectra Life 1.8 2007 there is a really loud grinding noise coming from the back left of the car. Only begins when I start moving off and then goes off within about 200 feet. Seems to come from rear wheel direction.

It is only if I have left car sitting for half hour or later.

Due for MOT in July. Hope it holds out.

Any suggestions?

Stereo forgetting

if I choose a radio station on my insignia like capital fm, and select the preset to save the stereo it beeps but comes up with a completely different station name I have to save it 3 times until it saves the correct name.. after a while all the saved stations change names completely . Does anyone know why it does this?

Had my GS450H for a wee while now and finally settled into it and enjoying it once I'd learnt to work with the strengths & weaknesses of a hybrid, e-CVT and RWD in a fancy Toyota.

Polished up quite nicely the other day outside of my work..

Electric Window closing issues - Astra H 2006 1.9

Hi,

I haven't posted on here for a while and have since lost my old account so forgive me if I have posted in the wrong area.

I have a 2006 Astra 1.9 SRI CdTi and I have been having this issue with the drivers side electric window over the past few months whereby when I try and close the window it gets to about half way, starts to come away from the window guide on the right hand side and the glass slants slightly to the left, gets stuck and then reopens. I have included a YouTube link...

Does anyone agree that it's time Laptop charged via USB?

I kow ALL Laptops charge at a different rate, just like the fact my in-car phone charger is different to my boy's but, wouldn't it just be so much easier if you could plug you laptop in and have it charge, the rate of charge many depend on model however, how many of use do no have a MAINS to USB charger?

It's just a thought I'm throwing out there, one set of leads would be so much easier to carry. I mean USB mains plugs to MINI USB sockets.

What do people thinK?

2004 1.9 vivaro door locks

A couple of days ago I went to unlock my van using key fob and the locks just made a noise as if they were working but didn't actually unlock the door. Used they key to get in and take to my local garage. The locks now are working randomly, sometimes locking and sometimes unlocking. Not all 5 locks (if you include the petrol flap) are synchronised. ie all locked together or unlocked together. My mechanic is pulling his hair out as he has taken the sliding door lock out and lubed it, thinking...

CIM failure so soon?

Hi All,

If you had something repaired at the dealers is there a set time that the part should expect to work for? This occasion is my CIM. managed to get it done under the recall which took a fight to do. Im guessing its been done 2 1/2 years now, but again this morning Horn doesnt work... This time with lights on or off.

Im guessing its my CIM.... Will plug in soon to check if any errors and to see if i can self test the horn. If its not the cim, what alternatives can it be?

Only reason...

What phone have you got

As title. What phone do you have? How long have you had it? Planning an upgrade soon? Do you like your phone?


I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Had it about 15 months and I'm not due an upgrade until the end of Decemeber. I quite like the phone, it's big, but it's not too bulky. I don't make that many calls, to be honest, so having an enormous phone next to my head isn't a problem - it's more of a mini-tablet that will make calls when I need it to.

At the end of the year, I'm going...

Changing swirl flap rod on Astra H 1.9 2006

Hi,

How easy is it to replace the swirl flap rod on Astra H 2006 1.9?

My swirl flap rod has come off and is just laying there at the moment.. I have been driving with it off for a while and seems fine. I do notice the car loses power sometimes and think it is probably linked to this.

Cheers,
Mark

What do you say

As for English, what do you guys say, if anything, if you see someone eating. For example you enter a staff room at work, and your colleague is eating something. Do you say 'Enjoy year meal' or 'Bon appetit'? Here in Poland it is considered very rude not to say anything in such a situation and I 've been told it's ok not to say say anything in English.

Hi, car drove out to my destination fine, had a thing where the revs when the clutch is pressed and your rolling they would drop below idle sometimes but still fine, and anyway come back to car, start it up, loads of smoke, and it's Miss firing, running in 3 pots, and won't rev, when you do, it builds up hardly any at all and dies. Now it's struggling to start, and does the same again, won't barely rev and dies, and misfiring.

Changed fuel filter, fuel pump in tank has decent pressure....
