I bought the 2.0 turbo version in great condition, what a great car. And had the 2.0 Astra MK 4 it was mint, both had full original body kits. Your great video reminds me of them, brings a tear to my eyes. Thanks for the video.
Matt armstrongs channel wasn't built in a day, and I'm sure you're going to get huge success from this, nothing but happiness and a good laugh watching you. Really enjoying your videos, came up on my feed a few days back and thought I'd give it a whack, have since subscribed and wait for notifications for your videos coming out! Keep up the good work.
You might run into some problems in a few weeks with that filter, mate. I have the z18xer, and it was okay to start with. After a couple of weeks, it went sluggish, and the engine management light came on.
I’ve got the same engine in my Vectra mine went abit sluggish at first but then was fine and been fine since and makes great noise at 4.5k revs when the vvt kicks in 😁
Keep up the good content mate....channel has come on so much... Doing awesome mate.. .. Not sure if you remember but I had a lovely silver ep3 type r that caught fire on me in 2019... Think you had yours at the time....sadly I never been in a position to replace it... Got dealt a few bad cards lol.. . Not had a car since...anyways.... Love watching your channel mate... Hopefully one day I may be able to buy one of these rebuilds from you👍
Get on to Chris sprung at Cs autos always breaking vxrs so easy get bumpers and seats and things like that I would do an leh swap on this with it being a 3dr all the vxr stuff will go straight on ro
Reming me of my first car this. Had a mk2 focus 1.6 petrol (same era as this astra) and did a full st rep swap minus the engine so had st bumpers, seats, wheel, sideskirts, boot spoiler, wheels etc as well as an exhaust and a screen etc. But didnt do an upbadge dw. Might be cool to do summat similar on the astra if the parts are cheap enough
This is like going back in time I feel like im 17 again doing chavy car mods 😅 I cringe when I think what I used to do to my cars and drive them thinking I was the dogs bollocks, but I guess it's a stage you go through
I cant even get my exhaust manifold off to replace the oil filter housing gasket, as its leaking and was making that awful sound before you fixed it. I have the same car as you i need help, no garage will touch my car and i dont want to get rid of it
Lower it on coil overs ,vxr front and rear end,turbo with induction kit then upgrade and remap it for proformance and add led head light if aint got it and upgrade to a dab radio and bluetooth stereo and upgrade bass and speakers and add neons and custom exhaust or straight piped and strut bar
Original modders went to ripspeed long before ripspeed joined Halfords. Ripspeed was it's own shop in Edmonton London it was like a demon tweeks on a smaller scale.
Actually Jesse you’re a LIAR. Ive got the cheapest in the country, a 5 door on 84k with 9 months MOT for FREE 😁 great video mate there’s something oddly satisfying about seeing a car like this get a new lease of life.
Can i ask why you're putting money in a 90hp astra? you sold a 190hp Corsa VXR and other various cars. Why not get a cheap Astra VXR? I'm genuinely curious.
Haha window mods, I watched one of your videos that you uploaded 5 years ago lol its funny we all end up going back to a vauxhall haha I went from a corsa to another upgraded corsa, to a ep3 then back to a corsa haha
I don’t bother nowadays keep car original, K&N filters in the original airbox was always effective, (Novas, Cavaliers and Vectra) the Wife’s 1.8 Astra H vvt would probably feel a bit better with upgraded air filter 😎

Another Best Vlogs ever on modifying the Cheapest Vauxhall Astra 👌
Enjoying this series i just bought a 2010 Astra 1.4 SRI only 52k miles on it for using for work/shops/snow etc alongside my R
springs, xp+ bumpers and new wheels and its a mint one
Yeah looks mint the xp kit
Glad the steering wheel fit perfectly was really nice seeing you both thank you for coming down ✌️✌️
Obviously a vauxhall steering wheel will fit a vauxhall 😂😂😂😂

Really appreciate this man!
really enjoying these videos man, you put al lot of effort in. Love how the good ol' halfords cone filter legacy still lives on haha
Great content bro.. Astra vxr front and rear bumper next would be nice and a nice set of 17s and coilovers possibly
I'm addicted to the channel

What happened to the wind deflectors?
Can’t wait to see how this turns out 🤘🏻❤️
Paint the calipers neon green or something wild 😂
Yass, second that 🤌
Great video Jesse the car looks better are you putting a spoiler on it and what about the slides skirt
Next mod, door check straps, omg that noise would do my head in clunk clunk every time you open the doors.
loved watching jesse good mods on astra thanks for sharing

Where did you get the indicators from I’d like some for my zafira b
Can’t wait to see this series
Just gone and got myself a 1.2 limited edition 2013 corsa just to modify it any suggestions ?
love the Astra mods
Great video mate!
Looking forward to this mod series mate 👍
VXR pedals are a quick mod that makes a huge improvement to the interior
Nice mods for this affordable car, well done!
Did the airbag light come on when you turn the key and then go off? It's a mot requirement now
Light stayed off
@JesseCollingham so doesn't come on when you turn it on first key then go out?
@John.Winchester yeah comes on for check then goes out
Another brilliant one mate great little mods👍🏻. Listening with headphones on nearly shit myself when the screaming woman 😱😀😀
2L turbo swap is needed next good vid keep it up im loving it
❤❤ loved it
Get on to Chris sprung at Cs autos always breaking vxrs so easy get bumpers and seats and things like that I would do an leh swap on this with it being a 3dr all the vxr stuff will go straight on ro
i love the colour should add a xp kit
what about the wing mirrors they have the wrong glass?
Ignore the comments this cheap Astra content is your best yet 🎉😊
Appreciate it man! People love it 😄
Love a good cheap mod video. 🤙🏽

Exactly 🙌🏼🤣
Do a cheap wheel refurb !
Top content as always👏🏻Definitely need to lose the chrome now to make it more chav spec now it’s got the wind deflectors and air filter on 😂😂
Should make it a amazon series
The Signum was a great looking car imo, kinda cross between the Astra and Vectra. I had a v6 cdti with 244hp and it ripped.
Is there any chance you could start putting links in for things you buy…like the indicators from eBay?
Sure! www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404624600014?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ipe77-hrr2m&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=P3PW5poKQcy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
@@JesseCollingham cheers man, love the videos keep up the great work….maybe when you hit 100k subs you could give away a car you fix up 🤣
My guy Jesse
Wonder who's vid you watched putting that wheel in ? Look forward to the next installment
Indeed you sir 🙌🏼🤣
@@JesseCollingham pahaha brilliant 😂 was sat there watching the vid thinking "wonder if he came across mine?" 🤔
Liked and subscribed but I’m never sure what to comment😂 but I watch and enjoy every video 👍🏼
Thank you man 🙌🏼

Don't the side indicators bring up a fault on dash pal??
#4: The pedals?
Astra is one of the best cheap looking cars out there, it's a shame it's a pile of unreliable trash inside
😂😂😂9:42 funny as
Love it when the lady on your neighbours van looks like she's coming out the sunroof! 🤣🤣
She keeps giving me funny looks 🤣
🤣@@JesseCollingham
Loving the content another great video
Glad you enjoy it!
@@JesseCollingham loving all content your doing keep up the good work easily best car content guy on you tube
The horns are prone to fail on these..the cim modules die. You can fix it with a £3 clip
Great video .I might get side repereters for mine .
Lower it on coil overs ,vxr front and rear end,turbo with induction kit then upgrade and remap it for proformance and add led head light if aint got it and upgrade to a dab radio and bluetooth stereo and upgrade bass and speakers and add neons and custom exhaust or straight piped and strut bar
What you need on it is a back box / cat delete it will sound awesome
Actually got 1.6 zafira for Free! It was m.o.tddrove like a dream and three years trouble free driving.
You've got me modifying again lol 😆 I'm on a journey now son , so thanks jessy 😅
*Jesse
Great video Jesse as always, good job :-)
Will the vxr corsa steering wheel fit a vectra c does anyone know
Great vid jesse love the content lately keep goin your smashing it mate🤘🏻
Go back and pull the indicator back off, I'm sure the old bulb holder part screws in to the back of the new lights
Legend👑
You had so much luck not having a blown head gasket that thing would be worth a lot I bet now since you really changed its life around.
Original modders went to ripspeed long before ripspeed joined Halfords. Ripspeed was it's own shop in Edmonton London it was like a demon tweeks on a smaller scale.
It were Charlie browns and motor world b4 that
i had a K&N air filter with cold air induction pipe running to it. actually made a difference in performance and looked nice. would reccommend
nice video mate, wish i was better infront of camera lol
Fit Alexa Auto 2 or Bluetooth ebay wiring loom kit
I'd like to change the lights inside from the yellow to blue to match my footwell leds
Jesse can you do something with the dash clock gauge rings.. astra/zafira standard silver be nice to see colour change mod
Actually my mate got his black one 1.6 for £60 from an old lady because her husband died and she didn't know what to do with it
He should be ashamed
So he took advantage of her then whilst she was grieving
Put my edge wind deflectors on my 1.4 astra couple weeks ago lol
My mate is also breaking a 5dr 1 pal got mice entas on it and plenty other stuff pal
The 3 door are the best looking astras
Get yourself a mk6 golf and do a video on them!!
Actually Jesse you’re a LIAR. Ive got the cheapest in the country, a 5 door on 84k with 9 months MOT for FREE 😁 great video mate there’s something oddly satisfying about seeing a car like this get a new lease of life.
Sure you didn’t nick it mate 😂
Ah yes the vauxhall clunking check strap 😂
anyone know the outro music ?
D.A.D

People prefer relatable cars that are cheap and easily affordable
@@JesseCollingham I guess most channels are modding super cars so makes sense. Again no hate, I enjoy the content, was genuinely curious.
When will the civic coupe be back on the channel?
Yeah 🙌🏼
Haha window mods, I watched one of your videos that you uploaded 5 years ago lol its funny we all end up going back to a vauxhall haha I went from a corsa to another upgraded corsa, to a ep3 then back to a corsa haha
Jesse can I ask you a question about a Astra ?
You should do a cat back exhaust make it sound better
Mate the blue on that steering wheel needs to go!
Do a Hornet catback exhaust, they are cheap and sound great
Needs a nice uni back box
Please take that blue uxe off the steering wheel and paint it. It just pulls off and looks so shit I did mine black
Please do this!!
Ooh where else sells those 😊
It’s a channel tradition 😅
Cherry bomb back box too is a chewp enough mod, about 80£
Jesse put a vxr engine in your Astra
Slap an xp kit on it 👌
Xp kit, either 18" pentas or 19" snowflakes and some coilovers would change the look of this car completely
needs a cobra exhaust
I don’t bother nowadays keep car original, K&N filters in the original airbox was always effective, (Novas, Cavaliers and Vectra) the Wife’s 1.8 Astra H vvt would probably feel a bit better with upgraded air filter 😎
Imagine if he actually realised that the astra 1.9 with 150bhp has 375nm of torque
if you're gonna go there, may as well get a Signum 3.0 v6 cdti with hybrid turbo and supporting mods, pretty cheap to get 280bhp and 600nm
320NM torque the 1.9 cdti 150 has 😂
Hi how are you doing
All good hope you’re good!
Buy an is200 and make it a project car after the astra
