Vauxhall Astra - Whats wrong with this Astra? - flippingcars

Hey all

bit more of an entertainment/question for you

I run a YouTube channel and have this Astra in what I call my car graveyard
Its got a fault

Can anyone guess what is wrong with it by the sound of it turning over?

It turns over. So can be lack of fuel or lack of spark. That's where you need to check first. The EML could be several things my guess would be a faulty o2 sensor but why not stick a cheap ( about a tenner) odb2 reader on it and let the vehicle tell you itself whats the issue.
