How to Remove the Third Brake Light from the Opel Astra H GTC

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part:

To remove the third brake light, open the boot and unscrew the side pins attached to the plastic cover that serve as support for the parcel shelf cables. At this point, detach the plastic covers from the top of the boot by levering along the edges to access the metal tabs that secure the third brake light to the bodywork through the designated holes. Use a flathead screwdriver to press the tabs to extract the third brake light. Next, disconnect the washer nozzle pipe and then the power connector.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
