Good evening guys, I'm tom, live in doncaster, own an astra j sports tourer (posh word for estate), crappy engine but she's ok.

Thought I best come and say hello, having a few problems with it at the minute and I'm one second away from taking a lump hammer to it and calling the insurers haha.

Anyways nice to meet you all!
I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.

A problem with the radiator, looks like a new one is going to have to be fitted, problem only occured after I had a new thermostat fitted though.


Anyways this is my baby, the caravan isn't mine by the way, I work as a truck driver picking up write off cars, and caravans, I delivered this to a customer who had bought it and he wanted it up his drive, luckily I had my car on the lorry as the lorry was going into the dealers for the weekend, it come with the removable tow bar option when I bought it, only time it's ever been used haha.


Couple of small mods, mainly the DRL upgrade, also did the Navi 600 to 900 upgrade and today I put a new theme on it, LEDs on all interior lights, got a few things in mind for the future.



I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.

I have the 1.6 SRi also and agree it is underpowered. 
I need my thermostat replacing also so hope they don't make a bodge job of mine too.

Nice looking car and I hope you get your radiator issue fixed soon

I got a mate to do it, he had trouble when one of the bolts snapped but luckily knows what he's doing.

He has said he didn't go near other side or the radiator, wether it's a coincidence or not I don't know but I trust him, once one thing goes its usual case when something else goes wrong in the process, just one of those things eh.
