    Hey everyone, I have a 2011 9-3 Aero Turbo4 XWD which just had the front control arms, 3 CV axels (cant find the back left one anywhere), and the front brake pads + disks replaced in the past 3 months. Now, I’ve had this clunking occurring before all the replacements and it still hasn’t gone...

    I took my '07 9-3 SE In for an MOT today and it failed on one count - the power steering fluid leaks. Given that I've been topping it up with CHF for a while I didn't realise it was a failable offence... Anyway, it's also due a 120000 mile service. Am I going to end up shelling out more cash...

    Guys, I'm sure I've read it here somewhere but can't seem to find the procedure for clearing the aforesaid message. I thought it was something like pressing the clear button then pressing and holding it again until it 'beeps. Doesn't seem to work. Any tips ? Paul @ Kippen

    Well today I found myself having to drive right by my local Vauxhall dealership, so I thought I'd nip in and find out how much genuine GM power steering fluid was because it is my intention to swap out using the 'turkey baster' method. 'Well Sir, it's normally 17 quid odd, but today we can do it...
