Hi guys 

So after just over a year of ownership it was time to say goodbye and move the Astra on to a new owner.

It's been a great car but I wanted something a bit faster and bigger, so I did a straight swap with a BMW 325D M Sport, 3.0 diesel remapped to 240bhp but still returned 47.2mpg the whole way home today.

I do have some LED number plate lights from the Astra if anyone is interested!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone, il still stick my head round the door from time to tim

Problems with the gearbox, the intercooler is leaking, I need new discs and pads all round, two new tyres needed, the brake fluid needs changing, too much oil in the engine (and I've never put any in). Not only that but I still needed to get the cosmetic damage fixed after that. All in all I would have been looking at around £2500 to get everything sorted out, so I decided
