Vauxhall Opel Insignia ( electric handbrake ) How to fit discs & brake pads 

Same here. Never been a fan of these myself. I lost interest in vauxhall back when they made the last of the cavaliers. Yeah, it's the customers pride and joy .anything it needs , he's on the ball to get it done . Seat is coming along well. Decided to just sort the very slight play in the steering . Wheels look a million bucks too. Hope your keeping well Mate Taz

I didn't know that mate, let me know how you get on doing it if it works for you etc. Good luck and hope the weather stays good for you 💪🤠👌

​@@autosolutionscheckpoint weather great here down on the Ayrshire coast ............It did indeed put the brakes intae service mode mate , the wee brake symbol appeared on the dash. It didn't help much though, if at all , still had to wind the pistons back . I had read this function would do that , what a load o' mince!, not on my 65 reg anyway. However , new pads n discs fitted , so will take it a wee test drive.........past the supermarket ;-) .... might pop in for a couple of bottles of Henry Weston's Cider for tonight lol

@steview9899 everything is trial and error. I done my city & guilds in the late 90s. And just been winging it ever since . Everyday is a school day with Me. RU-vid is great for keeping up to date with the motor industry and modern technology. Weather been beaut here too in queensferry. Enjoy your cider lad. Definitely the weather for it. I'll crack open an ice cold bottle of water because I'm mental and on the hard stuff 🤣🤣🤣

I heard that to

@buugedy im just being thorough. May not be needed but I prefer to do it that way . Thanks

Thanks so much for your feedback mate , please consider subscribing if you are not already . 😊

I didn't , but don't think there will be any need to remove the lid IMO , as it was just discs and pads getting changed, the only time I would remove the lid if I needed to bleed the brakes etc . Cheers

I'm not sure as I have never done a caliper rebuild before , I have always either replaced with new off the shelf parts or parts from the scrap yard, I'm sure it would be the same ethics as refurbishing a manual caliper. Sorry I couldn't give you a more definitive answer. Please consider subscribing if you haven't already. Thanks ☺️

Hi Colin, cheers for letting me know , unfortunately I never knew that , when I was doing my city & guilds in the late 90s they never taught us that or even garages I worked at . But take that on board, welcome to my channel , I hope you like it . Taz 😊

Just something I've always done , and I was taught this method when I was at college over 100 years ago 🤣. Everyone does things differently

@@autosolutionscheckpoint 😂 that’s fair enough. No harm in it I suppose

Sorry it has took so long to reply, unfortunately I didn't get a notification for this. It all really depends on who is doing it , quality level of parts used and time it takes. Not every job is as straight forward. And every garage varies with there hourly rate . Some garages can be £40 +vat per hour , some can be £100+vat per hour. . Thanks

I dont use a torque wrench myself however I would say the insignia should be about 150nm . Thank you

@@autosolutionscheckpoint ok, gracias, esque tenía duda de los tornillos del porta pinza, porque los tornillos de guía se que son a 30nm, gracias por tu respuesta

Hi mate , im not sure. Is your machine up to date ? Is it causing a problem when the car is put back together and out on the Road test? any dash warnings about it ? Pl3ase consider subscribing if you haven't already done so. Cheers 🍻

All upto date and service light flashes when at a stop or low speed but have my mot coming up lol have to double pull the button for it to engage

Thanks mate, that would explain it, it has a code for glowplug number 2, thankfully it's not the most important one, will relay this back to the customer. He's had that same code for over a year now. Thanks for this. Please consider subscribing if your not already. I try my best to reply to everyone's comments and appreciate the input.💪🤠👌

Yep , i'm on a few Insignia groups and lots of folk don't know that , theyr'e like '' it says 'service Vehicle Soon and it was only serviced 2 months ago''..............unfortunately it need plugged in to find the fault. I had it once ,so plugged in my little V'Gate icar pro scanner (£25.00), it showed as glow plug no 3, thankfully it's the cheap non-sensor glow-plugs on mine , glow plug was £9.00 , job done.

@steview9899 yeah the other type glowplugs are ridiculously priced. You would think they were gold plated 🤣

I can't remember, there are a choice of 2 different sizes for the rear, these where the larger ones . 315mm . The smaller ones are 292mm . Thanks

@@autosolutionscheckpoint I thank you👍
