Vauxhall Vectra C - Engine Coolant Temperature 9 Mar 2012 (Forum)
A the beginning of October last the temperature gauge started showing a very low reading and a faulty thermostat was diagnosed which was replaced and all seemed well although the gauge did not appear to show as high a reading as before the change, Now during the last few weeks the temperature gauge hardly moves off the stop position even on quite long runs, following a run if the engine is turned off and left for say 5 minutes and then restarted the gauge shows near the 100c mark but drops back to just of the stop position when the vehicle has been driven for approx 1/4 mile, also there are times when the qauge reading fluctuates between cold and half way to the 80c mark. -
dexron 111 with castrol z - oil compatabilaty 5 Feb 2012 (Forum)
I have a hilux surf and auto box runs using dexron 111 oil.Now because its my everyday car for work and towing trailers and a large caravan around europe,.I would like to know weather replacing the dexron 111 gearbox oil with the synthetic castrol z oil is possible.Would i have to have the box completley flushed before changing the oil,or can i just drain the old oil out of the gearbox sump and refill with castrol.As i know some dex 111 oil would still be in the tourque converter,would this matter.I would like to do this because the surf is clocking up around 15ooo miles of towing plus all the weekend run around stuff, and i think the old girl deserves the best oil to keep her going.i,ve had the surf for 4 years and 73,000 miles and never missed a beat.She,s got 169000 miles under her bonnet and still going strong,i just think if there are better oils on the market the surf deserves it.can anybody give me an answer.cheers -

Vauxhall Corsa C (2000 - 2006) - 01 1.2 Engine cuts out and EML comes on. 6 Feb 2011 (Forum)
My 1.2 SXi 16V Corsa has recently started cutting out after the engine reaches normal running temperature. This happens when slowing the car down, ie. coming off onto a slip road. It fires up again, but the rev counter has then stopped working and the light showing the engine block is on.
