Dropped me Mum's Astra G in for MOT
passed with no advisories  :)
though I advise myself to take it on a warmer day next year  :D

Had my Omega's traction control light flash at me a few times too this morning  :P

Hoping the snow acts a bit like snow foam, and removes all that Cornish dirt.

Cleared some of my crap out of it ready to look at a potential replacement tomorrow.

And retighted an exhaust bracket to silence the last of a rattle so it doesn't sound like the cats are about to fall apart... (they aren't. Yet).

I'm looking into winter tyres  :y
got Mrs builder steel wheels with  Bridgestone Blizzark Winter tyres
I have enough 7J steel 15" wheels to put some on ,
but do I go 195/65/15 or buy another set of 16" wheels and match the 225/55/16 size
or just get some summer/winter type tyres as the ice age is now  over  :D

I went with Goodyear Vector All Season. (225/70/16 XL)

-1° isn't much of a test, but no complaints thus far.

Found a broken vacuum pipe needed a t piece for testing didn’t have one whilst I was out but what I did have in the car was a cannula from my mothers oxygen,, needless to say mum had a breathless ride on the way home😂. (Joking of course)..but the spare cannula did work :y

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

                  I would go for the smaller 15 inch 195 65s they will be better for the snow

Thanks for your input Rae  :)
I've heard a few people say similar
plus side to that is I have 15" wheels already ,so could just get winter tyres fitted to those
