Yet our standar 237bhp astra, with 40k, and only 20k servicing, has had no problems at all, even after track thrashing.

In fact, all the vauxhalls we've had have been fine. They aint no FORD or FIAT uknow

tbh, I think yours is just screwed and get rid of it. I use many Vauxhall forums in the last 8 years, and no-ones ever come near with that list of issues on a fairly modern car..

borrowed a VW Golf from work once and noticed it had a habit of winding all 4 of its windows down in the middle of the night. Fortunately it chose nights when it wasn't raining and there were no scrotes or cats brave enough to try to get in.

My dads Audi A6 did that for a fair while, can't remember what he did to solve. Think it were summat to do with his alarm fob battery or something equally as stupid
