Hasn't affected mine - must be how I wired it in

Gregg - quite easy, Fonz helped/did it for me. But if I came round and did it, it shouldn't be a problem to simply copy it. Mine isn't a specific one for Corsa B, and there is one because of different part numbers, so might be worth getting hold of one of them for looks

Electric sunroof you say how easy is that? And where do the bits come from?

No reason why not. The original smoked ones I had were genuine Vaux ones that were originally white/clear, then professionally tinted by a guy on eBay. Being Vaux ones, they had the correct markings, and just shoved orange bulbs in. Should be fine mate.

No, it wasn't a write off suprisingly

£1700's worth of repair, so I was EXTREMELY lucky.

Just 1 bucket method, TurtleWax Wash with Wax in. Then occasionally, more in the summer, I use Meguiars Spray Wax.

Yesterday I didn't, and just used the Meguiars Water Magnet to dry.

I don't know if you heard, but Endsleigh wanted £1300 EXTRA for lowering. That also meant cancelling my existing policy and starting another, underwritten by someone else.

I was limited with Endsleigh in August because of my crash (renewal was actually cheaper than insurance BEFORE crash) so I need to stick with them until August this year by which time I'll have 1 NCB and hopefully be able to shop around.

THEN I might be lowering
