Short service on Opel Astra J: this does not mean it is the annual service.

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we see that when our Astra J version signals us "Service due soon" it almost never indicates the annual service, but rather wants us to understand that there is a problem that needs to be addressed urgently. Very often it is an electrical fault or the glow plugs. Here the mechanic shows us that the tester found a problem with the glow plugs that were burnt on two of the pistons. As far as we are concerned, we recommend that when burnt glow plugs are found, they should all be replaced at the same time. Then, of course, the error codes are cleared from the control unit so that the error does not occur again.

How to Replace the External Wing Mirror on a Ford C MAX

In the event of a breakage, it will be necessary to replace the external wing mirror on the 2011 Ford C MAX. This operation is easily performed independently. Start by removing the internal cover of the mirror with a plastic lever. Then, use a socket wrench to remove the securing pins. Once the pins are removed, you can take off the mirror, but not before disconnecting the power connectors. Then proceed to fit the new mirror. First, connect the connectors and then secure the mirror to its housing with the pins. Refit the plastic cover and test the operation of the electric mirror using the controls.
