Vauxhall astra 1.6 16v 1999 water going straight to over flow how can i repair it
There are several possible causes. Start with the cheapest solution.
1. If you are using water instead of anti-freeze, the water will boil and will get pushed into the overflow tank. Replace the water with anti-freeze.
2. The radiator cap could be bad, allowing hot coolant to exit the radiator and flow into the overflow tank. Have the cap tested or just replace it. It's a cheap item.
3. A leaky head gasket is allowing combustion gases to pressurize the cooling system, which pushes the coolant past the radiator cap. You can easily diagnose this by carefully removing the radiator cap and, with the engine running, observing if there is a continuous stream of bubbles in the coolant. These bubbles are exhaust gas, and you will need to replace the head gasket.

This sounds like a problem in the fuel shut off circuit. When you turn the key on, it energizes the fuel shut off solenoid on the injection pump. When you turn off the key, power is removed and the pump is moved by spring to the fuel off position. Check for power at this terminal when you are having a problem, ( with the key on) If no power then I would check the wiring and connectors from this connection to the Ignition key. I believe it is wired direct. That can be checked at http://www.alldata.com/products/index.jsp
subscribe3 and get a wiring schematic for the car and see if it is wired direct to the ign switch of from a relay, I am sure it is a connection problem if you have no power.
A 1.7 diesel even if turboed, is dead slow in any vehicle let alone a van. Enjoy the fuel economy
good luck

this is easy... buy a volkswagen.lol.
This could be the lifters, ie you might have a sticky lifter. you can fix this yourself if you know what a lifter is and were it is situated... if you dont know any of the above I recomend you take it to a someone who knows.

The problem is in the loom in the steering wheel, it requires removal of the airbag and a new wheel loom to be fitted. The loom costs about £15.00 I think.
