Oooh that looks cracking. Love the CSL reps and I'm a sucker for a shiny motor. :driving: :thumbsup:
 
Welcome, Bimmercode will let you either switch off start/stop completely or have it remember last setting.

Hi all, newbie from Dunstable here. Had my little 2.0i baby for two months now and couldn`t be happier ! Love the way it tackles
roundabouts and puts a smile on my face just sitting in it. Changed the plugs ( originals had been in for 91k ) and despite its recorded
recent service both the air and cabin filters were shockingly bad so changed those as well.
Any advice on changing the oil , or indeed anything to watch out for, would be very welcome. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:

If your roof motor still works the best thing you can do is get it relocated to the boot - unless that has been done already!
 
The car now looks slightly less in order. An Astra driver failed to notice me as he joined from a junction and modified my
nearside rear quarter. l feel quite shaken although l don`t know why, nobody was injured and the other driver was a perfect gentleman.
At least l hadn`t got around to clay bar and polish.
Could be worse


Maybe l could have chosen a better username !
 
That is not good news, quite a few of us feel your pain - but as you say no one is hurt and that the main thing.

User name is now very apt unfortunately
 
It is difficult but l can`t change anything.

I turned 70 in August and had a slight down shift in mood. Gave it a couple of coats of thinking about it and came to the conclusion that
my diesel Golf had to go.
Pre divorce l had the odd 911, 944S2, etc. but you come to realise that you cut your cloth accordingly. My cloth has been modified by the
bump. So l have to re-cut.

Yes, the Astra driver f**ked up but he admitted his mistake. lt is what it is.
could be worse.

P.S. us Ole gits have to stay together ! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Seems it has been assessed as a total loss. The damage assessor poked a camera underneath and took a photo pointing upwards.
My mate at F1 tyres had it up on the lift and showed me a snapped upper suspension arm. I am now annoyed !
They have yet to get back to me regarding valuation.
I want it back " N " classified or not ! Everything still works with no warning lights.
Sorry to be a needy newbie, any advice would be truly welcome. :tumbleweed:
 
My plan would be to replace top and bottom suspension arms, the wheel bearing, buff out the skid marks and gaffer tape anything else ! :wink:
 
They seem to want to "write off " anything these days.- I would try and identify any structural damage and if there's none, replace the damaged bits.
Does it still drive ok ?
