do the paper clip test on it that willl flash out the ecu fault codes. might point you in the right dirrection to what the fault is instead of a geussing game and it will save you money not having to take it to vauxhall

paper clip test you need to see if your car has the 10 pin diagostic socket or the 16 pin near sure its the 10 pin both left pin you bridge them out then your ecu light will start to flash.there is a web site on top buzz i think telling you wat the fult codes are only take 5 mins to do
