Picked up my first ever Insignia GS yesterday

[CTID Hants]

SRI NAV Turbo 170PS, Dark Moon Blue, just under 3yrs old, 34k on the clock and i'm in love!!! They wanted me to pick it up the week but i couldn't wait, needs a wash already LOL, inside has been valeted and strangely there only 3 matts in the boot! Taking back during week for the AC to be re-gassed, so will take it up with them then.





AFTER I HAD IT WASHED..................................

Aye, especially someone with a big Wullie that's 17" long

Very nice!

Any plans for it? Replacing the dipped and main beam bulbs with LEDs is worth doing.

[Howy]

Very nice motor,get some layers of wax on her!

Hi Marko,

I would be interested to hear more on this, but currently any changes need to be on hold, rather guttingly, whilst waiting for the AC to get gassed i have been driving around with the windows down, which lead to me discovering an intermittent squeak from one of the passenger side wheels. Whilst listening for this, i discovered (with the radio off) a whistling sound, that i suspect be the turbo!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Turbo went on my Saab just under 2 years ago and i later found out the whistle was a tale tale sign!! The car is due back to the dealership on Monday to be investigated on both counts, the car is still under 3yr manufacturer warranty until end of July, so not unduly worried, i am also within statutory 14 days as i understand it.

Hmm the risks of buying used. The good news is it isn't a private sale so you should be fine. The whistling could be something as minor as a split hose.

Thanks Shane

Those headlight changes sound very interesting, hopefully Marko can forward details.

I doubt I will be doing much major to it, so far I've the following:

Heko wind deflectors
Vauxhall tyre cap's
Front and rear Nextbase dashcams hardwired

New carpets with a sky blue trim (had to get City in there somehow)

Boot liner

Can someone tell me where DPF regen indicator is on mark 2, also the adblue warning? I was originally asking about mark 1 when I started on here and things got out of control and I got a lot newer car than planned LOL

Cheers

Be careful if the tyre dust caps are metal. People have previosuly had trouble with the metal reacting and bonding to the TPMS valves

Yeah just recently been chatting in another thread about the lights so all these links are fresh.

Copied from that thread,

You can't just stick any leds in your dipped beam. It's important you get the correct cut off. Most sets will just dazzle other road users. These will give you the correct beam pattern https://www.ebay.ie/itm/264261797730?ul_noapp=true You also need error cancellers for the canbus. Something like these https://www.ebay.ie/itm/x2PCS-H7-LED...8AAOSwrR5biSKt It all fits inside the headlight and the cover fits back on nicely.

You can stick any in your main beam though and you don't need error cancellers for main beam because it isn't canbus. I have these in mine https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Nighteye-72W...AAAOSwKltexjC9 They turn unlit roads into daylight

Thanks Shane

Links 2 & 3 to eBay don't work, would it be possible to have the link to the thread where you've been discussing these as mentioned earlier?

Cheers
