    long distance trip - oil question

    Me and my wife are going for a trip by car. We've done that 7-8 times with Astra Mk4 SXI (Z16XE). But I'm still new to Z22SE and this will be our first trip. Basically we will be traveling 1100 miles in 17-20 hours. We will take it easy through England, France, Belgium and Holland and will be...

    MOT, what to do?

    I want to have the car MOTd this or next week. I'm going to book it tomorrow. So far I've changed the spark plugs 150 miles ago, engine oil 100 miles ago. I'm going to clean the TB and buy a new GM air filter tomorrow. If time allows I also want to clean and paint the brake lines with silver...

    Washed my car

    Finally after over 2 months of being filthy my car is clean again :) I don't like cleaning the car because I hate to see all the new imperfections as the car gets older and older :eh: I wouldn't mind a bonnet and front bumper respray. I cannot afford it though, and even if I could afford it...

    Not a Santa Pod virgin anymore ;)

    I posted it on AOC forum, I can do it here as well :D Today I had some time just for myself, so went to Santa Pod. I think my car was the slowest one there haha. I didn't expect much from a standard Astra 2.2 with everything in (including spare wheel), and I'm happy with results. My best two...

I decided to go back to standard look so I got Irmscher backbox and straight through centre section fitted a few weeks ago. Yesterday I finally had my car washed so I took some photos and...

    precat removal

    Atm I'm very happy with my car power wise. I don't know how much bhp it's got but it's the fastest car I've ever owned. It rockets up to 100mph easily and quickly (private road), compared to what it was without mods. There is still one thing I haven't done to it - precat removal. Do I have it...

    air flow meter/sensor? (confusion)

    Has Astra 2.2 got one or not. I'm a bit confused now as some people say yes, some people say no. If not then doesn't changing to K&N air filter, derestricting airbox, bigger air intake pipe make the engine to run lean?

    Z22SE... 6 years old and covered 42k miles

    Do I need to do anything to the engine? (i.e. the chain). I know the timing chain needs doing every 100k miles or so. But is there any period of time regardless the mileage when it needs to be done. As I mentioned in the topic the car has done 42k miles and is 6 years old. Its service history...
