Mates box on his Astravan Sportive 150 CDTi has shat its pants.

Just left the Autosport show in Brum,started jumping out of 6th gear.Then it wouldnt go into 1st,2nd or 5th.Had to drive home using 3rd and 4th.

08 plate with 23k on the clock.

Its got the 19" VXR wheels,should he remove these when it goes in to get fixed on warranty??

Just thought i would add another case to the internet hyped myth.

One person on a Corsa forum and the world is going to end.

Speak to Bo Nielsen he runs a M32 in Time Attack.

23k is unexcusable Ollie, no? I'd be fuming if my gearbox packed up after 23,000 miles.

Ive heard of a "slush" box(auto),but never a banana box.

Yes because Vauxhall couldn't get it right he should spend £950 of his own money.
