General Car Chat / Re: Vectra 1.8 starter will not turn

That's the trouble with diagnosing stuff over tinterweb...
Especially when details are random and sporadic
ie:
A "my carpets all wet"
B "Is the scuttle drain blocked?"
A "I don't think so."
B "Have you checked?"
A "Where is it?"
B "Passenger side under the pollen filter housing"
Three days later...
A "Found it."
B "The scuttle drain? Was it blocked?"
A "No, the leak. I left the sunroof open when I washed the car..."

Got to change the hoses on the Barge, and although the fluid on it is clear, it looks decidedly green
so all in all, changing it makes sense

Joking aside, Dad ignored a 'chesty cough' lingering from Easter. By September he was in hospital for a month and by mid November he couldn't breathe, and two days later was dead, lungs riddled with tumours.
Your choice, I guess... Not getting checked because of Batflu, would be a bit like not getting your prostrate checked because you think you might have piles
For want of a much better analogy
