Broken Flap Under Car

Just noticed that some bolts holding this flap to the body of the car have come loose and refuse to go back in! Must have snapped or something [PENSIVE FACE] anyone know how I can go about fixing this on the fly? Was thinking double sided sticky pads... Don't want it to fall off while driving!

MOT Fail - Broken Rear Coil Spring
So my car failed MOT today due to the left rear coil spring having snapped. Mileage on 66K. (2012 2.0 cdti sri vx-line) I can't say I have noticed that the coil spring was knackered having driven the car etc.

Anyway decided to replace both rear coil springs so I've managed to source 2 Astra J SRI springs (Part No : 13340838) off eBay for 100 quid but have noted in the Haynes workshop manual that I should probably use new shock absorber bolts.

Broken crankshaft bearing
Hi guys, hope you're all going good
I had a problem with my Astra's crankshaft so I would like to share with you my experience so maybe I may have some advice from you or even answer your questions if you have any.

Actually, a crankshaft bearing broke while driving on the highway which caused the engine to stop, after several attempts, the engine never started because it was blocked.

the breakage of the bearing caused damage to the crankshaft so I decided to change the crankshaft for a new one

AC Compressor clutch broken
Hi Guys,

Its been a long time, which is a good thing I guess because it means I haven't had any problems with my car
I have one now...

The spring that detaches the clutch from the AC is partly broken.
It's this part below. One of the 3 metal colored springs is broken in two. Because of this the clutch doesn't disengage well and makes a not so nice noise when the AC compressor turns itself off. AC works fine otherwise but I'm sure the clutch is wearing off way too fast now.

Drivers seat broken trim
I noticed last night the side trim on my drivers side leather seat (Elite trim) is cracked and broken. Not sure if it's the hot weather we've recently had, or my fat ass that's caused it - lol

I don't have a photo of the damage, sorry, but I believe from searching the part No is 13257102.

It has multiple seat adjustment (manual adjust) as well as electric lumbar support adjust.

1. Can someone confirm I have the correct part No for my leather seat side trim (drivers side).

Broken wheel stud
Hello :P 

The wheel change company I used managed break one of the wheel studs when they remounted my wheels. Is this possible to replace? or do you need to replace the whole wheel bearing? 

From the looks on youtube from other car brands, it looks pretty simple, remove the disc brakes, knock the broken wheel stud out with a hammer, replace with a new wheel stud. Is this equally simple on a Vauxhall astra? Money is a bit thight so I would ideally do it myself if it's an easy job.
