Time to start seeing if I can get interest for my current alloys as well as selling the corsa ones to fund something more appealing. After some BBS style wheels in a dark grey or black.

Would you not keep your alloys for winter to save damaging the bbs?

Car was totally over heating on the motorway, got off when it went to the red and when I pulled up, all the water lost and a lot of smoke.

Steam came from the water. They 'fixed it' now it's happened again. Gotta wait again to be towed.

Exactly 4 hours later and I'm home. The second guy is pretty much certain it's the thermostat

Well rang my warranty and I'm covered up to £300. Green flag are taking me to a halfords auto Center in the morning and I need to pay £50 for the diagnosis out my own pocket, then it's £39 per hour which is covered up to £300.

Found out a thermostat is only £4 on euro car parts and it took my mate under 5 hours on his Astra H to do it while following instructions. Just hoping that's actually the problem and I'm pretty confident I won't have to pay a penny.
