Thanks all I managed to get a new filter in Edinburgh seems very large back order on them so assume a problem
It did however cause finding another problem when fitting I also have a leak from sump and the technician says somewhere up middle too. But he says needs to go get checked properly at my dealer and he said it should get us back ok.
Anyway update today contacted Vauxhall dealer told get call back on Friday afternoon no call back called again Saturday morning again no call back so guess now just wait but thanks to all for help and to mark it's good to hear from you it's been a while hope all ok with you

If you're really stuck I am not a million miles away, in Buckinghamshire (near Aylesbury)

thanks mate can i get back to you managed to find the greenflag cover but at moment not sure what it is but if ok will post when he has look thanks

Just ring Green Flag; they ought to be able to sort you out from the car's registration number.


It certainly sounds like a faulty battery as those are all the classic symptoms

many thanks apparently on their way so hope soon she is not a very patient person so glad i'm home thanks to all

Sounds like a battery issue, question would be why, but could simply have rolled over due the cold soggy snap...

  guess could be dampness etc as car sat 2 days done nowt before short drive today

How you get the paint to look that glossy 

a few hours work but worth while, i gave it a good wash then turtle wax ice polish left for 30 mins then polished again 3 times then put the turtle wax on it left it for about a hour and then washed it and dried it with microfibre cloths then waxed it again. then end result was car paintwork very smooth.
