just bought a 2002 1.7 turbo van. Body works spot on, no rust other than on some scratches. 100k . Only issue some parts no longer easy to get. rear brake compensator gone and its £200 from Germany . That said every thing else oil filters , brakes etc dead cheap. Mines an ex RNLI van then local garage - great van sameMPG and 100 percent more reliable than my previous van a Berlingo 2013!!

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Yes they are fantastic little vans, I’m sure most motor factors could get you a brake compensator cheaper, usually just take a bit freeing off.

[@joejames6696]

Just bought an 08 plate with 114k 1.7cdti £1750 after the guy had done a new clutch new fly wheel new ecu all new wheel trims. Body work is perfect also new timing belt. Mint van for the age 👌

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Yes the ml5 is a cracking van also but unfortunately not as robust as the mk4 Mainly because they started to use the chocolate box M32 gearboxs in them

[@gazzajax3483]

Had one of these for 10 years, from 56000 to 206,000 miles and it never missed a beat... loved it

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Yeah always liked the Astra G platform very reliable if looked after

[@marksmith3469]

Good van dan I like it a lot

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Thanks mate 👍🏼👍🏼

[@jackfix4801]

that’s a good one pal keep it

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Thanks mate 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Mercyme57]

Ha….well done Dan…I knew you’d find another project lad. It’s a great find, getting harder to come across these….brilliant Van for you to use every day for various jobs. And fettled up you will never have a problem shifting it on if you ever choose to. Looking forward to updates. 👊🏼👍✅

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Yes have been wanting another Astra G van for years since I sold my last one. But I specifically wanted the Euro 4 tax band one so it’s £140 tax not £320 Thanks for watching as always 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Traumassa]

I love G- Astras! They are really financial maintain, and nice to drive . I have had three g astras. And for sure in the future I will also buy one:)

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Honestly in my top 5 best cars made in the last 20 years, easy to work on, nice to drive, loads of variants. Personally I think the van is the best of the lot, such a good platform for a small commercial vehicle. Thanks for watching 👍🏼👍🏼

[@kitbuster]

Cracking van Dan, got a little gem there .Looking forward to seeing you fix uo this one

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Yeah been busy with it in my free time this week, been non stop lol. Thanks for watching/ commenting 👍🏼👍🏼

[@bizniz4837]

Can't go wrong with an Astra van , good purchase

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Cracking vans 👍🏼

[@compostcorner5934]

Iv owned my 03 plate Astra G van for 13 years it's been a great vehicle ,that's why iv had it so long. Can't beat the older vauxhalls tbf ,I also have a 26 year old Calibra

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Yeah can’t beat old Vauxhall’s, lost interest once they finished the Astra G and Vectra C, don’t like the new range at all. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@chrishirst7716]

You've done well. Perfect for your business and dogs. I'm looking forward to more videos on this.

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Been a busy week working it on, yeah it’s a perfect all round vehicle for me. Thanks for watching 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Hesston4860s]

I’ve got a mk4 2.0 dti sportive on an 03 plate I’ve had it since 07 and now have 166k miles on it !, they rot out on the rear inner and outta sills under the skirts. I’ve just done mine as I love the thing that much 😂

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Yeah that’s just basic work in 20 year old working vehicles…. Compare that to a 20 year old transit lol. Why I always advice rust protection from new

[@wallacemassey1371]

Nice van mate,what I always do with those wheel arches on the inside lip is put a glove on and smere grease all around it they stay mint ! 😀

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Yeah that’s what I do with all them, most cars i service at work usually do that as part of the service. Grease or waxoyl Thanks for commenting…. Have some good in depth videos coming soon o the van 👍🏼

[@Mekaeshi9239]

Very beautiful car in my opinion

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Astra G MK4 are fantastic cars said that from day one in 1998 to current day

[@taficegaming]

I love astra mk4s in any form

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Just fantastic platforms, just done long trip in it today sails along at speed no problem at all.

[@taficegaming]

They do they are bullet proof

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

MK5 never matched them for reliability

[@garymcmillan4177]

I've got a 54plate one with 15000 miles and it never puts a foot wrong. Love my wee van.

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

They are fantastic vans, definitely one of the best ever made imo

[@garymcmillan4177]

​@@CarAddictGarageNE ruled the outside lane of every uk motorway in its day 😂

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

100% they fly along with a few mods the 1.7 CDTI

[@garymcmillan4177]

@Car Addict Garage North East small remap and chip can bring a standard upto 124bhp without internals bring messed with. Guess what my plan is for summer 😆 🤣

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Yeah they are a strong engine for sure, and super efficient 60/70mpg all day long. Plus mine been within the Euro 4 commercial tax it’s only £140… assume yours will be too

[@charliecoco2115]

Hey Dan, how come colour coded bumper on front but grey on back. Maybe had a knock so new rear bumper?

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

That’s actually how they come from new weirdly, unless you got the Sportive version what had full colour pack. Thanks for watching 👍🏼👍🏼

[@davidelder5399]

That 1.7 CDTI is a workhorse

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

They are a fantastic engine, even at 200/300,000 miles you take the oil cap off and there ain’t even a score on the cam lobes. Thanks for watching mate 👍🏼

[@SpecializedRider249]

I've got an Astra G Coupe 2.2 in Europa Blue. It's a 1 previous owner car. Has been dry stored and needs major detailing and servicing. Are you good with timing chains?

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Unfortunately don’t get involved with the chains anymore… if they ain’t rattling just leave em be lol

[@muckle8]

A good engine but do they suffer from dual mass flywheel issues?

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Not the Z17DTL the 80 BHP don’t have a DMF only the Z17DTH 100 BHP what was mot fitted to the MK4 Astra only the MK5…. And even those very rarely give issues like the 1.9 CDTI and 1.3 CDTI Fiat engines have constant issues

[@allygt4]

Keep the phone number on, you might get enough calls to start a new business.

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Yeah they will be getting though to a guy in Devon 😂

[@carlmurphy7190]

I wouldn`t drive anything else

[@CarAddictGarageNE]

Fantastic cars/vans the Astra G 👍🏼
