2002 TS Holden Astra CD. Can anyone please advise me as to how to remove and replace the roof mounted radio antenna? I also understand that a signal amplifier is fitted to the base of the antenna. Any information regarding this would be appreciated.
Look forward to your replies.
In 2006 we purchased a regularly serviced, second hand, 2003 Astra with 45000 km on the clock. Recently, at 50000 km, the car developed a fault where it would simply stop and could not be started again until several hours had passed. Our local Holden dealer replaced the coil pack (at a cost to us of NZ$687.14) and the problem seems to have gone away.
We contacted Holden NZ to ask for compensation in this case, because of the low mileage, relatively young age of the vehicle, and the nature of the fault. It would have been nice to have something positive to say, but they declined any support on the grounds the vehicle is older than the warranty period.
This is very disappointing given the fault has nothing to do with how the car has been driven. It appears to us that Holden finds it acceptable for basic parts on its vehicles to fail after five years. Further, the replacement is only guaranteed for two years.
