  1. Thank you; I have now seen your response. My issue resolved itself, only to reemerge. It is unequivocally electrical rather than mechanical.
  2. I apologise; I believed you were experiencing the misfire issue. Yes, it is resolved; essentially, I engaged in back-and-forth communication with the warranty provider and the retailer for around five days. It suddenly functioned, and all the doors opened and operated well. I am uncertain how that occurred, but everything can now open and shut properly. Thank you.
  3. I have a 2018 Insignia. This morning, as I attempted to enter, the central locking emitted a sound, but none of the doors would open. The boot ascended and attempted to unlock the doors from inside, but none of the doors would open, either from the inside or the outside. The central locking mechanism functions, as the locks engage and disengage on the doors. Do you have any suggestions?
  4. Latest information. He got the job completed, but unfortunately, the garage could only provide hubs that were not compatible with his wheels. Consequently, he had to get two more wheels. After completing the job, while driving, he noticed a noise coming from the back. It was discovered that the wheel nuts on both sides had not been properly tightened. I believed that I was the only one who neglected to fasten the wheel nuts.
  5. A few months back, my son purchased a 12 plate Astra. The automobile he purchased in a private sale for £1900 has an attractive appearance. Although the item was inexpensive, he was satisfied with his purchase. Upon bringing it home, he subsequently discovered that the primary beam was not functioning. The repair cost him £200, but the auto electrician made a mistake by improperly installing the new fusebox. As a result, the vehicle wouldn't start, and the auto electrician identified it as a malfunctioning electronic control unit (ECU). After spending £350, the vehicle still failed to start. A different car electrician promptly identified the issue as an improper installation of the fusebox, and he did not charge my son. Recently, he took his vehicle for a Ministry of Transport (MOT) test, which resulted in a failure owing to an oil leak, emissions problem caused by a broken catalytic converter, rear springs installed in an incorrect orientation, and a rear brake pad that was not properly fitted (and not even suitable for an Astra model). The total cost for the assortment will amount to £1300. Recently, he sent me a message, saying "Dad, take a look at this." Upon removing the back wheels, the garage made an intriguing discovery. I was very astounded to learn that he has been using this vehicle for many months, transporting himself, his girlfriend, and most significantly, my granddaughter. My level of anger beyond what can be adequately expressed. This situation demonstrates that no matter how cautious we are while inspecting pre-owned vehicles, we remain unaware of the true nature of our purchase.
  6. Thank you for all the responses, gentlemen. Your input is much welcomed.
  7. Are wind deflectors effective? I have seen the remarks on this platform from a few years ago on the impact of these devices on the automatic movement of windows. Are they worth acquiring or should they be disregarded?
  8. Thank you for all the responses. She has purchased it and I hope it is a reliable vehicle for her.
  9. My daughter will purchase this vehicle tomorrow: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202402126505097 The price seems to be very low in my opinion. May I perhaps have some guidance? Thank you.
  10. This is the only instance we have experienced.
  11. Yes, the battery is operating properly as shown by the red light on the key fob when the keys are pushed.
  12. Greetings I have replaced the battery in my 64 Plate Insignia, and although the key still functions, the central locking system no longer works. It seems that it is possible to resynchronize it, but I am unaware of the procedure to do so. I attempted to activate the ignition and pressed and held the lock button on the key, but this action did not produce any results. I am unable to locate any relevant information online to provide assistance. Any guidance or recommendations would be very appreciated. Thank you.
  13. Such assertions need statistical context to be fully understood, regardless of whether they are related to the space shuttle tragedies. For instance, how many issues were brought forward by engineers? One? Ten? One hundred? How often were these issues brought up? How many engineers raised the concern? One out of forty team members? Et cetera. I am not excusing inadequate management, but it is often revealed after a tragedy that someone has previously raised concerns about the situation. In hindsight, disregarding these warnings seems to be a serious failure in duty. However, it might be challenging to choose which issues to prioritise in real-time. Addressing every voiced worry exhaustively could potentially hinder the project's completion.
  14. The component in question is the dual mass flywheel. I explicitly informed him that the situation was severely compromised after the component was removed from the vehicle. However, he chose to cut corners and use the worn-out clutch and dual-mass flywheel. Now he is obligated to provide further compensation in order for me to remove the gearbox in addition to installing a new dual mass flywheel and clutch assembly. Engage in reckless behaviour and face the consequences. If the vehicle belonged to a client, I would have declined to install the old dual mass flywheel (DMF) and clutch. However, as it is my partner's father's car and he wants a cost-effective solution to trade it in, I complied with his request. However, I did remove the dmf and personally demonstrated to him that it was severely damaged. He claimed that it had not produced any noise before. Indeed, it does today.
