Balls matey. ;) Just because the old girl is approaching 100k? Remember the Renault 11...300k...and the Astra is MUCH better. It has brakes, for a start. Claire - I took it back to the fitter, they jacked it up. 3 of them gave it a good prod, and concluded that yes, the new Shock absorber had failed. It's back in next Saturday at 9 for a new unit under guarantee. Now I need to look at the gearbox..I got an "automatic gearbox fault" light on Thursday..it really hates me, this car. I'm 99% sure it's just the selector switch, and that is confusing the computer. It's nothing too bad though. if it happens again, I can drive it as a manual if I pull the computers fuse out. Stu!
