Hi , Names Ken and I'm from Brisbane . The reason I joined the forum is because my 18 year old son picks up a 2004 astra hatch this arvo.

He's a 1st year mechanic so has a few options at work with servicing etc. I've driven the car and it goes well. Only has 70 odd thousand on it that checked out. He's up for

the timing belt, tensioner and water pump which shouldn't present a problem with the resource available to him. What irks me a bit is there's so many negative reviews out their

on internet world and its food for thought. . Anyway I'm up for your views on the negative reviews.

One thing seems strange is there's so many for sale with between 250 and 300k on the clock. Not bad at all.

On the other hand some have said it's the best car they have ever had. Anyway thanks in advance, ken
