when i got the car the lad who previously owned decided to debadge the rear and then give up halfyway, so i need to take it off and respray it all where the paint had been ripped off, to temporarily replace while i sorted that and an opel badge out i purchased another one off ebay(cheaper than buying badge alone!!)
attempted debadge
replacement for time being

gay today, after fitting my strutbrace i must have kinked a vacuum hose because the car kept bogging down between 1 and 3k, as if it was going to stall, then at the lights it decided it would actually stall,so after a day at college, going to work, then having to come home, strip off brace, reposition all hoses and wires im pretty darn tired on the upside goes in for spray tomorrow

bad news, car was overfueling to hell that it kept cutting out! disconnected the map sensor and it didnt make a blind bit of difference, my clutch was shagged by time i got to garage because if it dropped below 3k it cut out! no power sterring! a bit scary going down hills towards a roundabout! managed to get to vauxhall (service was appauling! left me waiting and kept bullshitting it was next! they all stood round doing fekall!!  ) £80 later (inc parts) diagnosed as a snapped wire to the map sensor! goody,also i was ill lastnight probably due to all the fumes inhaled from the bastard thing! anyways on the plus side cars gone in for spray and will be back with me tomorrow afternoon!
