i know someone who had one of these and the boot bracket sheared inside the boot

Apparently it was a massive job to fix, fuel tank out etc

Have you come across this

Jesus James fixing that wiper motor fault is a doddle! Did mine in about an hour. Just a case of soldering some new copper onto the internal contacts

Not as nice as snowflakes

So much to sort out for this car. Was going to do it little by little but think I am too impatient and don't want to drive a half finished car around.

Looking at upgrading to Eds Phase two.

Trying to find a second hand SMIC. But the only ones on eBay seem expensive and in crappy condition. New ones are £600 Don't really want to spend that muc and ideally don't want a FMIC.

Also want an exhaust but don't want a loud one! Had a Mongoose on my GSi from memory that wasn't that loud. Suggestions welcome.

Worked for me. I wanted stainless and a bit of noise but not too much, Jetex was perfect.

What car Phil?

I don't even want an exhaust really I just want the power so need at least a cat back. The cost of a full miltek is eye watering.

Mongoose are on sale and had one of those on the GSI and think it was "ok" noise wise

Had a look at Venom, don't cover the Astra...


No bother, absolute steal on eBay for a Mongoose cat-back. This was what I had on my GSi and sounded ok.

Not sure on tailpipe...

4x3 oval.. That huge?
