Found you after Googling about problems with my heated drivers seat. Had my 3rd year service and 1st mot on 29/9/14, and a few weeks later the heater starts switching off after a couple of minutes.
The dealer has confirmed that there is a notification from Vauxhall about this issue from May this year, but as the warranty has now expired, they are waiting for Vauxhall to decide what to do..

Google took me to your forum post about this issue, and seemed more informative than other sites I had

Hi everybody!

Got my first car, which happens to be a White Astra GTC 1.7 SRI

Been looking all over the place to see what I can upgrade/tweak and it's looking like this is the place to do just that! Looking for any advice/recommendations on what parts to get, such as lighting and upgrading the CD player to a NAV one..

Thanks all!

Here's a pic of the car when i picked it up...

I don't know who else has tried Armor All Shield 'Even better than a wax' but forget Sonax that has been beading water for a month or so, this product has beaded on my car for almost three months. It says it will stay active for up to ten washes and sure enough I can vouch for it.
I found it on the Auto Express website after they did wax and polish reviews and this one won in 2013:

Hi everyone

I'm Joe. New to this forum. Been about on other forums for quite a number of years now, but already this one seems a lot more friendly and helpful than the way most of the others seem to have gone in recent years. So look forward to getting to know everyone.

Anyway I've had quite a few astras over the years, last 2 were an Astra GSI turbo and Astra VXR Nurburgring.
Now I've got a white Astra GTC VXR so the Astra bug is definitely in my blood haha.

Oh And I'm from Bristol
