Treated the ole girl to a new part.  Can you spot the change 

Always preferred the Opel grille, must be at least 20BHP more now

Misrepresenting the vehicle make, I'm sure that's a criminal offence

buy putting British "Vauxhall" badges on an Opel made in Russelsheim Germany

Corrected the misrepresentation for you. Vauxhall hasn't been British since 1925

But Joe public buy Vauxhall because they think they are buying "British"
though lots of Astra & Corsa drivers are keen to rebadge to Opel blitz 

Looks like the good Doctor has the old girl on life support  pumping electric into the engine bay

 . Yes, it's one of them new fangled EVs, the V6 under the bonnet is a ruse 

I actually invested in a battery maintainer and conditioner.  Got the AA one and it's been in use for 6months and battery strong and 13.5v when I measured 

I've dangled the small unit and wire deliberately in view so I don't drive off forgetting to unplug it 

Interestingly, the Opel grill also had a blanking panel so you could blank off the top half of the grill at the back.  I assume that was for the more colder countries ? I left it off for now 😅

[dave the builder]

We only have your word for it that there is still a V6 under the bonnet 

there could be a washing machine motor and a brace of pound shop PP9 batteries in there

The new grill is very nice by the way 
much nicer than the V grill

[BazaJT]

Much the same as people seem to think Ford is a British brand.Must admit I prefer the Opel grille too.

It was a Virgin Original GM brand new part never used still in box with GM stickers   Can't be many of them left 

Must get her booked in for a Cambelt change.  Just got to find the right place and person

Alright I give in, how DO you get in?

[Doctor Gollum]

Carefully from the passenger side

   LOL, yes have to climb over from passenger side as car tucked up to side which means we can get both cars in the garage as well
