Re: 08 Astra won't turn over
We don't see many people with relay problems here.

Re: Antenna Dry-rot
Someone in the UK forums recommended a cheap rubber o-ring. It just goes over the antenna so install takes a few seconds. Not 100% sure it fits the US antenna (there were at least 2 different...

Re: Floormats?
The factory mat hold downs are awesome IMO.
Not sure. This is the parts catalogue for Opel mats. That might help with the search to buy direct.

Re: Floormats?
Indeed the driver and passenger side mats are significantly different in shape.

Re: Center Exhaust Section
That was fast.
What did it cost all in?
Do they make these in stainless steel?
Can you coat it to prevent rusting?
I see they also sell the "front pipe" with the flange & flexpipe...
