hi there,
well half an update here, i called vauxhall and gave them the part number off the bits i got from the scrappers and they said thats the fuel temp sensor thing so i fitted one and tried starting and it didnt start but iam not fuuly satisfied with my test as the car did have loads of diesel in but i took it out to put in a hire van to get my parts from luke. anyhow the astra fuel light is on and the gauge barely lifts off the floor and the pump has air in it so i will put 2 gallons in it in the next couple weeks prime the pump and try again as im sure the car dont have enough fuel in it etc. also the replacement sensor could be duff but i have another one. will update when i give it another go.

cheers rossco

Any update Rossco ?

I have just acquired a Vauxhall Combo 1.7 diesel which should have similar components. If you need me to test anything I will send you a report.

hi there,
well i changed the fuel temp sensor and still no joy, so i think the only parts left that i havn´t changed yet are the crabk sensor and the pump ecu and the pump itself but i know that works.
