I have a 2008 Astra Twintop with keyless entry which has a faulty driver side door handle, Vauxhall want £600 for the repair but I've seen handles on ebay from £35, obviously it would have to be sprayed to colour etc, I've also been told they are 'plug and go' so no need for Tech 2, my question is are the Sport Hatch and Twin Top handles the same? Bearing in mind the window drops slightly upon opening the Twin Top but this feature isn't necessary on the Coupe. Read more
Hmm I beg to disagree.

Unless the EGR valve is activated directly by the ECM and it's actual position is then reported back to the ECM I can't see how any fault code could determine that it is faulty.
More likely a fault code of EGR excessive or insufficient flow was generated, but that wouldn't specifically point to the EGR valve itself.
I wrote early last month regarding issues with the Renault Retail Group were i was quoted £4000 for a PX against a Renault Megane Coupe (London West) only to find that after i paid my deposit, i was told that they had given me the incorrect PX price and they dropped the price to £2000 PX against the Coupe and the sale fell through.
I then seen a coupe at the Renault Retail Group Liverpool branch and i requested a video of the car showing any body work damage, I was told about a stone chip that the salesman would repair for me and apart from that, the car was in showroom condition. So we paid the deposit and When we arrived to pick up the car, we found 2 dents in the body work so we walked away from the deal, After emailing the general manager, I was given £100 compensation to cover my return journey from cumbria....

TomTom didn't offer me free updates. I paid for 12 months (4 Maps) and got a further 6 months free. This was this month
Depends on the TomTom - a lot of them now do come with free map updates for 'the lifetime of the device'
“Many people do not realize that when you run a car or truck on gasoline of diesel fuel, you are actually running it on hydrogen. And all we are doing is using the hydrogen from water. And under the National Bureau of Standards figures shows that when you use water, the energy release is roughly two and a half times more powerful then that of gasoline. So water is a very powerful fuel.”
Stan Meyers 1992
Stanley Meyer was one of the most important inventors since Nicola Tesla. He was the first inventor to advance High Efficiency Electrolysis Technology to it’s perfection, including running a car completely on tap water

This is based on the original wet cell design that started it all (it is not the Hybrid Cell Design plans).
Hydrogen Hybrid Technology, used for over 50 Years by The Military, NASA, Scientists, Universities and recently Car Makers such as Honda, BMW and Lexus… Guaranteed! For over 50 years international institutions, universities, engineering associations and independent testing labs have been compiling documentation and test results proving that small amounts of hydrogen added to the internal combustion engine significantly reduces toxic emissions, increases engine performance and provides a more complete burn of the fuel resulting in better gas mileage.
