I don't know what the check is (I can spin my wheels happilly (and very easilly with the turbo pressure uprated)) - From a mate's Astra, he has a button marked "TC" near his gearstick - I have no extra buttons, so doubt very much my car has, or ever had TC <p><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE B...

Daniel, I am also 201CM (about 6'6") tall, but I guess it's how you're proportioned - some people have their height in their legs, some in their body - with me it's about half-half and I have had issues with all 3 of my 480s <p><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE BR START--><b...

I'd say "stick with NU" - my broker was the second best quote I got from about 11 companies, and it's a NU policy (although NU refused to insure me when I phoned them direct - what an odd world) <p><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZ...

Regarding the window - it depends on what you mean exactly? Later models allow you to put the window all the way down (drivers side only) with one click of the switch, but there is no equivilant function to close the window again - did you mean this, or do you mean the window wont actually close at ...

DAB control unit != DAB receiver, but that's by the by. DAB is still far too expensive for me to warrant buying right now, after all, it is just radio - now if DAB supported jukeboxing and stream per demand, then that would be worth having, but the likes of Radio1 is poor enough on their music selec...

Digital Audio Broadcasting - Digital Radio - still very expensive though - my header unit can do DAB, but the receiver is still too expensive for what it is - I'll stick with the CDs and MP3s in-car <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.g...

Does the washer bottle have a sensor in it? I am on my 3rd 480 now and all three have had a light on the dash that liiks like a picture of a water jet/washer type thing, yet they never light up - was this an optional extra, or has my sensor been broken on all 3 cars? I never get a warning when the b...

On my 15" wheels, I used Continental as they are a fair priced tyre, but stick to the road like glue, even in the wet. They also won an top gear (or was it autotrader) award for being generally the best tyre in the catagory <p><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE BR START--><br...

On a similar but reverse theme - was the 480 inspired by the Scimitar? I follow a Scimitar GLT to/from work from time to time and apart from the fact the scimitar is lower to the ground, and a few aesthetic differences, it's amazing how very very similar the back of the Scimitar is to the back of th...
