    Hi,

    Just bought an Astra 'Arctic' 1.6 16v - 1997 'R' Reg.

    V pleased with it, but a couple of questions...

    Does it have an alarm? If so, does it simply activate when locking the
    central locking?

    Also - the AirCon seems not to work - when activated, it doesnt get any
    colder! Is this simply a re-gas thats needed? Or are there things I can
    check first?

    Many thanks. Ed.

    does the compressor run?

    make sure you have the blower on max
    heat on full cold
    and director set dash blow

  4. It is unlikely to have an alarm as these weren't standard. It will have an
    immobiliser though. If it has an alarm you will be able to see the movement
    sensors by the interior mirror.

    With regards to AirCon, I would take it to your local Vauxhall dealer and
    ask them to give you a quote. They may well be doing the Vauxhall Aircon
    service at a decent price although I thing regas might be extra.
