Hi everyone. I'm Terry, live in Flitwick and I just thought I'd make myself known to you guys. I have been into cars ever since I can remember, I had an old mark 6 escort that I modified, got in a bunch of magazines and car shows etc. I then had a 350z that was rather low... I have however always had a Vauxhall whilst owning other cars, Nova's, Corsa B's, Corsa C's, Astra H's and now a GTC.

My last car was a 1.9 CDTi Astra H, but someone rear ended me just before Christmas, so I decided to buy myself a Black 2012 2.0 CDTi GTC with a bunch of optional extras such as full heated leather, Navi600, park sensors, 19s, LED rear lights, electric handbrake etc.
The car has the 19" alloys but I have just purchased a set of 20" VXR wheels. They are currently being refurbished so should be on the car soon.
I have also updated the Navi600 to Navi900 thanks to the thread on here. Was easy to follow, I just had a little trouble with the CD image burning part.
Other than those couple of things, I have not done too much else yet.
I do need to fix a couple of items, these include:
- A small water leak into the boot (RHS between the two metal skins behind the bumper. I inspected whilst being sprayed with a hose. I could see water pooling but no idea where from. It literally just appears as its no streaming down from anywhere.)
- Passenger wing mirror cover needs replacing
- Passenger vanity mirror cover needs replacing.
- Replace the brake discs and pads all round. I believe GTC's are 321mm front and 292mm rear?
After that I may invest in an Android unit to replace the Navi600. I find Navi600 okay, but the lack of Bluetooth is a real bug bare considering my last car has an android unit that could do anything. So if anyone has any recommendations that would be great?
Anyway. I look forward to chatting and getting involved on here. If anyone lives near to Flitwick, it would be good to meet fellow Astra owners.
