  There`s a stretch of road near here where cars park both sides and it`s effectively one lane only, down the middle. You don`t see the car approaching until the last second, due to a bend, so it`s a split second decision whether to pull in and flash the other car through - or press straight

  Hello, Vectra 1999, 2.0 Di. I\'ve had a number of problems (all minor) recently and they all turned out to be cured with a new airflow sensor (suprise, suprise!). This was fitted a little over a month ago and the car really is 200% better than it was - it\'s amazing what you get used to isn\'t
