Fancy dress for Halloween. Just to give you a back ground a few of us get a little carried away and do group costumes. In the past we've done Pac Man and the Ghosts. We've done Minions this year we're doing Mario Kart characters.

So nearly a couple of weeks ago I won the following on Ebay for £10 which was less than 5 miles away.

There have been a couple of items in the news in recent days about the cost of car insurance...

One claiming that comprehensive car insurance premiums rose on average by 14% (£95) during 2016 and the other that men still pay more than women even though gender equality rules state insurers can't specifically use gender as a rating factor.

Of course, on the question of gender there are other risk factors that produce the result - men tend to cover more miles and are more likely to drive for

UK's car insurance premiums on the rise again.

Hi, I have a astra gtc biturbo with standard rear lights. With the drls on the left side rear had the bulb working but the offside rear is off.

Hello all

Bought a 2013 2.0 CDTi back in May. 42k
In July it came up with a SVS message and went into limp mode.
Garage came up with a P2428 error - Exhaust gas temperature sensor 1 - High temp. Low Voltage.
Had the sensor replaced and a forced regen done.
Car has been fine since...

Until Sunday night. 
Filled half the tank at Tesco (yes I know, not ideal fuel). 4 miles later SVS light came on and limp mode.
Error didn't clear and car has stayed in limp mode. No EML, no DPF warning,

Oh **** me these bloody turbo solenoid has gone again, replaced both only 18months ago and only done 14.000 miles, what a joke these are.

Will any fit from another make pref not GM they are ****, I don't get it my Astra H 2009 1.9 has never been replaced and done 110.000 miles.....actually will that fit?

I don't really understand how they work, are they specific to the make of car or would they work on any car if the wiring fits?
