I like that they’re being different by offering comfort as a priority. There’s a bit too much emphasis on sportiness these days, especially for typical UK roads. Read more

Hi. I’m trying to find a a front bumper splitter for my 2015 Astra 2.0L Bi-Turbo. I have bought the passenger side splitter from a company on EBay but they don’t have the drivers side. Anyone know where I can get one from?

Below is the link to the passenger side splitter I bought on eBay but I am now wanting the drivers side part:

Just ended up buying a 10 year old Mazda 3MPS car which is brilliant with 70,000 miles on the clock however the undersurface of the car has some significant rust patches.
Phoned a rustproofing outfit who advises that it would cost about £600 for the work!
Do people know of any other more cost effective alternatives?

Location no bar although I am located in the south east near London.

Or is it simply a matter of scraping the rust away then coating it with any rust proofing material.

Any idea which material works best for this??


Thanks

I was in London this afternoon in a Jag XJL on my way to work. I wasn't driving, I have a chap to do that for me. We were following quite a visible motorbike, which had to brake sharply when someone ran into the road. My chap stopped OK, but a Range Rover following us closely didn't stop and ran into the back of the Jag. Nobody was hurt (but I haven't been tested for whiplash yet) but there's damage to the Jag which I don't think will polish out. A bit awkwardly, the driver of the Range Rover sort of works for me as well. I don't know what the damage to the RR was.

Do you think that the insurers will deal with this as knock-for-knock, 50/50? Read more
