    Son bought a car off ebay.

    their prices are less than glass prices (the auto trades bible). They also inspect the car completely so as to find any problems and reduce the price they want to give you even more. then the cheeky S*** will charge you an admin fee for the pleasure of robbing you!!

    The legal view

    Does a back boiler on multi fuel stove reduce energy of stov

    Brick fireplace

    Please help!!! Self drill Screw into plasterboard

    I presume you are referring to the things that look like pigs tails with a screw in them?? Ideally you want to be fixing through the plasterboard with longer fixings into the solid wall behind it. If this is not possible and there is room behind the board try using a hollow wall anchor.

    Boost pressure sensor?

    Any idea what the actual fault code was?? I would recommend you take it to a garage that understands vauxhalls From the description it sounds like the second garage reading the faults and interpreting them wrong. My guess is that you are getting an overboost fault from the turbo causing...
