Description
Top spec Astra K Elite Nav.
Car was in the family since brand new. Taken care of by myself. Never broken down. Never been to a mechanic other than for tracking and wheels.
I will start with the bad stuff:
It has a dent on the left wing and scratches on front and back bumper and also on the left rear door.
It needs tracking done because I changed a wishbone and zrod (both driver's side).
It has a slight rattle (nothing serious) coming from passenger side suspension I can't figure out which bushing though. One of the tyre pressure monitoring sensors has died. Doesn't affect the car but is annoying and should be changed for safety.
I have taken care of my Astra meticulously. I know everything about the car so feel free to ask. Some work I have done:
- Never let the oil life hit 0 ever.
- Changed the oil filter with a bosch one EVERY oil change.
- Brand new Bosch Wipers.
- 4 Brand new goodyear tyres.
- Brand new serpentine belt and tensioner
- New spark plugs at 72k
- New Driver's side wishbone and zrod
- Upgraded side turn signals LED
- New screen at around 80k
- Wireless Carplay/Android Auto.
- Nextbase Dashcam with rear camera
I will show you the correct engine oil to use to avoid LSPI. It is different to the one in the manual. Vauxhall has issued an update. This engine does NOT suffer from LSPI at all because I have always bought and used the correct oil myself.
If you want a reliable car that has been looked after and don't mind the dent and scratches this car is for you. It is my daily runner. I have even maintained the battery with a NOCO battery charger. I loved this car and it has taken care of me for many years. I have now bought myself an S-Class Merc so I don't need this car anymore.
