Car pulling to the left
Anyone got any ideas? Tracking has been done and a second time to make sure the settings were correct which they were.
Brakes are not binding on the passenger side so I know it's not this.

Pulling to the left
So I had my tracking checked today and it was 11mm out to the left.

So they adjusted it, now it just pulls to the left all the time even on flat roads where it never use to pull.

Think I should take it back for a re-check?

Well Thats A Shock To The System
So today I took the car in for a full service and all is well that side. I ask them to have a look around aswell for me (ghosts in the machine) and they have come back to me saying that my front pads are going low and will need doing which is not an issue. Then they have come across a crack coil spring on the rear. What the hell has that happened?

Corsa Models to Avoid
Hey Guys! 

Posting this in general chat as it's not related to Astra's...

So a friend of mine is looking to buy a 2nd hand Corsa D and he is wondering if there are any specific models which should be avoided...or even specific engine types for that matter.

Cheers

Where to buy genuine piaa DRLs?
One of my DRL bulbs has gone (again!) thinking of trying the piaa instead of the polargs but can't seem to find any decent places to purchase.

Anyone got any links?

Think found them in the lighting section... have ordered some up anyway so hopefully be fine.

How-to Brake Caliper Colour Change
First off I'd suggest reading Tucpal's and Rusty's write ups:
http://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=1350

http://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=14

What I used:
2 x cans of brake caliper spray paint (from the ever so cheap Halfords)
1 x can of brake caliper cleaner (dependent upon how dirty your calipers are)
Sand paper - rough, medium and soft (a steal from Asda at £1!)
I actually used a mains powered drill with a wire brush attachment but a wire brush will work just as
