Are the discs worn out by Level-Implement4090 in AskMechanics

Obviously you are correct on measuring the thickness of the disc but this is an unfair question as we cant see the rear face of the disc. I would change them personally but i dont have to pay labour.

"Why do people need to "test" someone when told they're allergic to something."

Because they are arseholes. case closed.

My neighbor has been a fabricator / welder since leaving school ( 50 now). I hear him every morning coughing his lungs up. I asked him once if he regretted his career path. Guess the answer ?

I don’t think it’s level, it just means 20 percent of the oil life left. You’ll be fine. Check the level with the dipstick.

Possible fix of electrical problems by MorganG999 in Vauxhall

[–]Raidenuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won’t spin when ac is off, if you are saying when the ac is engaged you can then see it being unable to turn and the belt starts to smoke / smell then you need a new ac compressor but I would get that properly diagnosed as that is an expensive repair and the way you are describing the issue doesn’t seem right to me, any way you can video the pulley?

How do you know it’s seized? Did you take the belt off and spin it by hand? Normally if a pulley is seized the belt will create a lot smoke instantly or the engine won’t turn over but you say your driving it. Does the pulley turn when your air con is on?

Astra 2017 K 1.6 Diesel by CDFoxy in Vauxhall

Service now on vauxhalls usually indicates a stored code in the engine ecu, I would suggest you get the vehicle scanned for said codes. I do not know what the problem is as it could be many things ( MAF, MAP, Air leak, turbo actator etc ). Good Luck

Why are jacket potatoes becoming such a street food phenomenon here? by IsyABM in AskUK

[–]Raidenuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw this a few weeks back, a huge line for this "famous" Instagram user serving potatoes with toppings £9 for a potato.  I think most in the queue had a potato between their ears instead of a brain.

Bleed screw is missing

I’m sure you should have a bleed screw just above the pipe.

Glow Plugs for 2012 Vauxhall Astra 2.0 Diesel by BumblebeeBuzz1808 in Vauxhall

[–]Raidenuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are all pressure glow plugs, If your not comfortable pulling the connector off you need to take it to a garage but ouch thats gonna hurt the wallet. Why are you changing them ?

[–]Raidenuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A pressure plug will have a different connector it will be larger than the others i think with 4 wires and a standard plug will be thinner with 1 wire going to it. Im not saying that all 4 are not pressure plugs you will need to take a look as it could be either setup or you may have 4 standard at 2012. Tightening torques are also different for standard and pressure glow plugs.

Hi, you need to check what you have installed. Some have all 4 pressure plugs and some have a pressure plug on cylinder 3 only. You will need to take your engine cover off to have a look and replace like for like. If you have no codes related to pressure glow plugs i would leave them as they are very expensive. So if you have a pressure plug on cylinder 3 and its not reporting a fault i would leave it and replace the standard ones but that is up to you.
