    The gaitors aren't too slack, it's more that when I go into reverse or use the handbrake I can feel the bit where it's cable tied with my fingers/hand. Deffinately not a problem, it just annoys me haha.

    Thanks though mate.

    In other news last night I fiddled with some spare LED strips and hooked them up in a way that they light up the footwells only when the doors open!

    The coolant warning levels will be due to the fact the mechanic has fitted a standard astra coolant bottle. The cars with 3 line display had a sensor attatched to the bottom of the bottle. The standard cars didn't, so there's no way to fit your sensor in the new bottle. Hence why you're getting a coolant level low warning
