I need to get a new battery as i were using one from my Astra (65Amp). Done some reading about these codes and most people changed the battery and the issues went away. Also people saying the earth cable could be the problem aswel?
Still getting the 3 error codes and i have changed every sensor on the manifold such a throttle sensor , IAT sensor , Idle control and the car still fails to start without revs from the parts which i got with the car and also the engine i received.
New battery and then go from there...
** Another note. I picked up some power steering fluid but its green instead of the normal red. My dad said not to put it in as its always been the red colour.. Anyone know whats the difference between them?

What spec is the Green oil, the right stuff is ATF Dexron2 which is red.
I wouldn't use it either.

Some German brand used in audi's , bmw etc .
Would you know how many litres is needed to fill it , would the steering rack have a drain plug as to give the system a full flush.

There isn't a drain plug for the system, if you want empty it you'll need to disconnect the pipes from the rack which will allow the fluid to drain from the pipes and reservoir, and move the steering from lock to lock to eject the fluid from the rack.
Not sure about the capacity, 2 litres would be more than enough I think.

A bit of digging reveals that the Green pas fluid is CHF11, it seems it's main advantage is that it has better cold weather performance than ATF, which will be useful in Spain lol.
As to it's interchangeability with atf, some say yes, some say no.

Know how you feel on that one, went to Rockingham in 2012 and got thoroughly, utterly drenched. Even saturated my waterproof blanket.
Still, made me happy as it was like a day at the races for some people, suits and women in high heels and such. That'll learn 'em.

PAS capacity is approx 1.5 litres, so 2 litres would be plenty.
