Sad to report that my beloved ASTRA has been written off – I was hit by a learner driver Damage isn’t great but far more than market value of the car..
Would like to thank everyone here who has helped me keep it on the road with all your advice and help with my often stupid questions vocky corsaZ22se KevinH Dave Gilbert evocarlos Berto ZippyZafira Project L850 - sorry if I’ve missed anyone else just can remember the tags.....
Was really gutted especially since I had fixed the oil consumption problem – it had been leaking oil through the rocker cover and main front seal. After 563,000km on the ODO it was only using 200ml of oil for every 1000km once I had fixed the leaks and it was still running STRONG! Compression 175-185 psi on all cylinders and it had never been overhauled!!!
Have many happy memories with it and of course I’m going to try and buy it back from the insurance company and keep it as a project
Pic below is after a spit and polish in 2014……it was rarely as clean as this as I was always too busy driving her lol….
Cheers
