Well, not much to report this time around.

Got the new remote for the central locking programmed, so all is good on that front. Op-Com to the rescue... saves paying Vauxhall £45 for 2 minutes on their Tech 2 machine. I think I have found where the coolant is leaking from... a number of the coolant pipes are crumbling away.... so looks like I'm going to have to spend some cash on replacing all the pipes  :'(

Well...... she's home  :yes:

Samco hoses sound (and look nice).... it's just the prices that put me off. I've definately got to change the hoses... along with the tyres and clutch, but they're all jobs that can wait for the time being.

Anyways, whilst she was on a "mates" driveway, she has suffered some cosmetic damage, I'll post some pics up later... It's only minor stuff, but annoyed me all the same  >:( But of course, no one knows how that happened  :blind:

I do like the GSi bumper..... BUT! they are common, expensive for what they are, and there seems to be a lot of GSi bumpers going walkies in the night, judging by what I have read on various other forums  :read:  :fie:
