True that. My rear in photos looks a different shade and it's never been painted. The front matches perfectly and that's been painted. Something to do with the plastics me thinks.

I'll have a look into it!

CC is easy to do, Stalk is a 5min job to put in. I bought an OPCOM ripoff from Amazon for £18 and activated it myself on my wifes Zafira.

Very easy job and the OPCOM comes in handy for diagnostics and activating other quirks

Is this the Astra was the dreaded gearbox problems?

They are like all cars. Have there weak spots. My gearbox may have to have the bearings done, but it may just be me being paranoid.

Just to add fuel to the flames.

Mine is on 98k, done 50k in 2 1/2 years. No problems to report. Gearbox is fine, no egr problems just serviced at the correct intervals with only maintenance parts replaced ie glow plugs.
And mine gets ragged to death and has much more torque than a vanilla version.
