Hi Everyone,
So I would like to say HI to everyone on the site. I am very recently a Astra driver. The wife and I are expecting twins from mid-September.
We have had to trade in her 5dr Corsa D to get a much bigger car that I keep calling "The Daddy Wagon", much to her disgruntlement as she keeps reminding me that my car is worth nothing (2002 Audi A3 1.8t). I try and remind her that if we weren't having twins she could have kept her car...but I get the blame for the Twins as well
I am a bit of a VW-group fan, having had few Golf's and Ibiza's, but really cut my teeth on (original) Minis. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty if I need to, but I must admit I prefer to polish the metal work these days!
So I join the club with a 64reg, 70k, 2.0 cdti, Carbon Flash Astra J Sport Tourer Elite, which I am disappointed does not come with DAB or phone. Guess which articles I will be reading
I would like to thank all the contributions made by members as my car didn't come with an owner's manual, it is nice pressing a few buttons and seeing what they do. For example, on mine, and apologies if this is already know, when the rear demisters is on, the door mirrors are heated. It really does help getting to know the car.
I also think my modding days are over, but it is nice to see people just don't settle for what comes out of the factory. I particularly enjoy the How to's on swapping the instrument lights to LED.
I am going to sign off now and do some digging on TPMS as I think the wheels have changed position in the past and the car reports the wrong pressuresfor that given location.
See ya soon!
