    the N16 almera diesels...

    You can insure the 136 @ Admiral/Elephant/Bell at any age - they'd insure me on it at 18 when I bought my 1.5. Remember to check for seized brake calipers and check out the state of the front crossmember. Could be pretty bad at those kind of mileages.

    Just sold my N16 :-(

    Another Astra I think - probably a petrol one though. I'll be taking it for a massive long test drive this time though and checking the history with a fine toothcomb. Providing I'm not still fighting with the dealers that is :(

    Just sold my N16 :-(

    Cheers - I'll bear that in mind :) Turns out that Scottish law does give me the right to reject the goods without them trying to repair it - so went back today to speak to the manager again who is going to contact head office tomorrow.

    Just sold my N16 :-(

    Can't insure a GTI mate. I've told them I'll be rejecting the car and I have that in writing - however I can only do so if there is a major fault. They do have the right to repair the car.

    Just sold my N16 :-(

    Tell me about it lol - problem after problem with my N16 and now this. I guess it's the ultimate nightmare of the used car buyer, not even making it home! :lol: :eek: Just hoping the dealer comes good now - they said they'll let me reject the car if it's a major problem (I have this in...

    Cheers Ed - I can get an £80 discount through the other AOC - Astra Owners Club :D Did it affect your insurance much or are you on a policy with unlimited mods?

    Diesel tuning boxes (One for EDK?)

    I'm thinking about boxing my Astra 1.3 CDTI (90) once I get it and it's running problem free. Not an Almera I know but I figure some of you N16 diesel owners will have thought about it (I assume they're available for the 2.2) What's the general opinion on them? I read mixed views ranging...

    Front crossmember.

    It is quite a common problem it seems - and one of the few my current (soon to be ex) N16 has.

    Just sold my N16 :-(

    It is the last shape - but it's a 1.3 CDTI [90]. Not going to set the world on fire but I do believe it's remapabble to around 120bhp :D

    Just sold my N16 :-(

    Tired of the repair bills which keep coming so I've just agreed to part-exchange my N16 against a diesel Astra. :eek:. Thanks to everyone that has given me help and advice in the time I've been an owner - I'll be sure to stick around and hopefully own a GTI one day :D I'll be sad to see it...

    GPS Speed Camera Detectors

    Pretty sure I'm going to be getting a ticket - too busy looking for road signs to point me towards where I wanted to go to notice there was a fixed camera and I assume a 30 limit :(

    GPS Speed Camera Detectors

    Does it warn you if you're exceeding the speed limit even when there's no camera?
