AVAS.. Poor Yorick! ♥️🎱

Finis.....

 

 

 

Dbbl sided tape under + gorilla.

R.A.F. lol

I have my £20 Halfrauds E-voucher 🎈

Thinking oil filter(s) 🤔

Whilst idly thumbing thru Utoobs, about ICE combos in Astra.....  I happened upon a chance reference to my CD30 MP3 sound system and it having AUX-in 😯

Seems there was a little port by the cupholder, behind the handbrake 🙄

The FM sound widget is working great but sometimes gets swamped by (I imagine, another in some nearby car...) not really a problem BUT I'm resolved to try a cable AUX connection ✔️

Fleebay provided a bit of junk [+ AUX out] & a 90° fly lead.... Change out of £12!

 

.... Give it a GO 👀

@Minimad5.. re: Vectra.

My AVAS is (blissfully) silent on fire up.....

Are VVT solenoids &/or cleaning $hite out of them something to consider...medium term 🤔

I'm on 68k and the car is now on a 6k oil regime.

Are they 'consumables' or best left? 👀

Now on AUX....✔️

 

Super Sound = no fuzzy/fadeout

Does your stereo support CD changer? If yes, you could wire BT to CD changer inputs.

[tooSavvy]

@IronStar.. Cheers for that.

Actually, I'm confident the 'sweet spot' has been achieved here 😉

My 'stick player' has Random Play, which is a neat feature, and I have a hefty MP3 catalogue, parked on my caddy.... It will take some while to roll them all out 🎶

Appreciate you're happy with the set up @tooSavvy, for future reference some Vauxhalls this age have a cable under the trim by the gearstick that is for an aux in plug. If you have it it needs enabling with tech2 and a jack plug socket fitting. I had one on my similar aged Zafira, I think the forums reckoned they were fitted 2007 onwards.

@Popsicle.. Yupp 👍.

It is the full fat Vx 'AUX' CD30 Mp3 radio setup. GR9....

Popped into Halfrauds @Cramlington and spaffed my "£20 E-voucher".

No probs at the till ✔️😉

 

Filter ✔️.. ATF✔️.. and 2x Zip ties to make up the value.

Sweet 😎

My 'divorce' is proceeding, with strategic foreplanning....

That 10mm heating pipe is blobb-on for connecting the tranny hoses to cooler 👍

I dip the auto level, from time to time, [no movement] and NO MAYYO 😁

.... however it isn't blood pinkie, over time, and now more brown tintish 😯

Strategy [after the divorce] will be 3x box drain down - getting as much churned/diluted over time.

 

10mm hex key, for the drain plug.

My mechanic has me booked in @07:30 Wed, next week.

"You KNOW all this is going to be straightforward?... !"

I need to modd a cola bottle, with a plastic pipe/spout in cap, so we can cut it into a funnel & dribble ATF down the Dipstick tube for that lost...

He's brimming with confidence 🤣

AVAS.... the *S keeps giving 😵

Come the Frosts... Comes the Screen Muck...

Being a conscientious citizen I endeavour to check my Screen bottle is topped up 👍

I scored 'maximum points' for Hidden in Plain Sight idiocy >>> looking for the Screen wash filler 🤔.... Yes >> not in engine bay BUT in the Slam Panel by the latch 🙄

Goody 💦♥️
