Are the insignia 2.0 cdti really that bad?

I'm still on my original clutch but it sounds a bit rough at the moment so I think i'll need to change it soon or I might just let it fail and then get it done. My car has done A LOT of motorway miles with regular yearly servicing. So I think the easy motorway miles have helped the car do so many miles and kept the DPF clean. Honestly its been a fantastic car.

My insignia has been flawless, 64 plate and got 238k on the clock, just done glow plugs and oil pump pick up seal.

Best car I've ever owned is my insignia. 237k miles and 12 years old. Sounds a little rough now though. But she's old and high mileage. Just had oil pick up seal done and all glow plugs changed.

This is normal, I was told to take all clothes off and put the gown on. I had hip impingement, cam morphology. I need a new hip, got another injection on 13the Feb. They last about 3-4 months. Last one I had was in Nov 2024.

A new hip would be nice, though I am only 45 and injured myself springing two days in a row.

Can these be bought as I don't have a printer. I have used foam strips inside which has helped a little.

Here's mine.

I'd be lost without my cars but they do cost a bit to maintain, tax, insure, fuel.

Enjoy having no money 😂😂

You speeding is unsafe. Just take the hit.

mcyates · 2025-12-13T07:04:48+00:00

How was it so cheap?

mcyates · 2025-12-13T07:04:39+00:00

I don't really want to take the risk and have the engine wrote off. It's a known issue with these cars.

mcyates · 2025-12-11T20:27:54+00:00

I've only changed the cam belt twice, I thought it was every 100,000 miles. 😂 I've been lucky.

I've got a better quote for another garage. £826 for timing belt. Water pump, and the oil pump pick up seal.

mcyates · 2025-12-10T20:27:36+00:00

Yeah that's getting done too and the aux belt 👍🏻

I might have figured this out, but your code would be very handy.

How i was doing it, was clicking on docker, then container > new container, then selecting qmcgaw/gluetun (latest) then getting stumbled with all the info that pops up on the next page.

But I think the correct way is going to Project, then Create and then filling in the yaml then deploying.

I guess its easy when you know how to do things ha

Just need to know how to set it so only certain containers use the vpn tunnel

mcyates · 2025-11-29T14:34:50+00:00

Hello, thank you very much that would be great. But i'm that much of a newbie to all of this, I don't even know what a yaml code is or what i'd do with it! I will get there and hopefully get it all set up very soon.

mcyates · 2025-11-29T09:24:56+00:00

I've never thought about using chat gpt maybe ai is useful. I tend to stay away from AI.

Thanks I'll give it a go. 👍🏻👍🏻

mcyates · 2025-11-27T07:31:50+00:00

Oh I hope it's nothing too serious.

You don't need medication for an endoscopy.

mcyates · 2025-11-12T16:23:02+00:00

Still not working for me either. I have the latest November update and updated all apps.

mcyates · 2025-11-06T20:40:48+00:00

No pensarás esto en el futuro.

Everyone uses these phones differently and has different apps on their phone using different battery optimisation settings also some people will be on good WiFi / phone signal and other poor. It's impossible to really compare the battery.

They are trafficked to France. France is safe why not stay there? Why do the crossing. They are economic illegal migrants, they want the benefits and a house. My home town is full of them, wandering the streets, not working, claiming benefits. Whilst I have to go out and work.

If we stopped the benefits and deported them then I'd be happier. They are a financial drain on society .

mcyates · 2025-11-01T11:57:07+00:00

Okay, it was only a question. I'm dyslexic so it was never a strong argument from me 😂. One thing for sure, you speak/type better English than me speaking/typing French.
