I take it that that's back end now sorted without too much hassle  :-\

What have you done to the front end to balance it all out ??

Or have I missed something ?

Finally got the red MV6's wheel alignment done at Merit's after ATS said they couldn't do it, due to the car being to low :-\ saved myself £17.50 by going there  ::)

Cleaned out the footwells, and transferred all the rubbish, parts, pieces of trim into the boot or wheeliebin as befits. Found my original 'Vauxhall' driver's mat has worn through  :( will keep an eye out for another at some point. Checked that my FL spare speaker is a straight swap for mine, so wiring to adapt. Easy check as I'm running without a driver's doorcard at present! It's also easy to stick your boot through the speaker when the doorcard is off....  ::) ..ahem...

New(ish) air intake/filter box, air filter, pollen filter and a pair of windscreen wipers.  :y

The Guttmann air filter from ECP that has gone in, is twice as deep as the Halfords filter that came out.  :-\ 

Although I guess it'll provide better filtration, will it restrict the airflow?  ???  :-\

The Guttman filter in mine(also from ECP) would only need the OE part number printed on it to be identical to a GM one.

Deeper pleats will increase the surface area of the filter media - the increased area will tend to reduce resistance.
