Wasn't aimed at you specifically, when asking for help you don't expect a cockwomble, he has no idea what I spent on it or going too either, just think he's a cock and yeah I shouldn't spoil for a fight but at the time Id literally just got the car off the recovery vehicle so the last thing I wanted was shit for brains comment. Apologies to yourself tho. Everyone seems to have a downer on vauxhall here yet my 04 astra is being scrapped tomorrow with 206k on it and still going strong, my kids have outgrown it tbh, and I've got another gearbox en route, another 10 ish hour's after it arrives and il be up and running again
And yes il be fitting it myself, won't be the first time I've stripped and rebuilt a motor
