Great size to those flats lads, well done. As regards the warning lights on the car you should take a tip from my other half, when the lights come on she sticks plasters over them so that they don't distract her when she's driving!!!! Safety first.

cheers man. i'll get it in today to get sorted. i can usually work at all my own motors, but you need to be a computer technician these days instead of a mechanic :roll: :roll: those vauxhalls go through sensors like jordan goes through sausage sandwiches :evil: :evil: :evil: . and the joke of it is that it's never the actual part that breaks, just the bloody sensors :evil: :evil: . but like you say,,,, better safe than sorry :wink:
