I know what you mean about the rot. Would a silicone sealant stop the water and crap from getting behind them ?

There is no reason why an accumulation of mud etc on its own behind the mudflap should cause rust. The problem occurs when the paint is damaged by the clamps, allowing rust to start with or without the mud.

As long as you don't allow that to happen, perhaps by protecting the paint from damage with a bit of plastic between the clamp and the car body or a heavy coat of Waxoyl or similar, you shouldn't have a problem.

Now the weather is getting better i have been out doing some bits to the car. I have replaced all 3 outside locks (need you to pop over sometime David to program the ignition.) and the sun roof as the original wasn't working and getting rid of most of the parts with mould on them as the old girl donated all the bits i need and a lot of spares. When i removed the boot cover i found the source of the leak that i was thinking was from the sun roof. I have done a temp repair to stop the water getting in but i need advice from you guys. I tried to remove the spoiler, I removed the 4 screws (2 at each side) and there is nothing holding the center on but when it was off the last time for the non factory wiring that was done (another thing i need to put right) I think some sort of bonding agent was used. Would you guys have any ideas as i don't want to damage any thing removing it. Also how should the wiring for brake light be run ? I have some repairs to do to around the drainage pipes for the sun roof next.

I found this in the first aid compartment. Can anyone tell me if it's an original kit or one that someone put in the car ?

I'd say it was customer or even dealer supplied. Looks far too comprehensive (read that as expensive) to be a GM kit especially with no Opel or Vauxhall branding.

No it is not the original kit that was supplied, it is a small grey packet with red piping and has the Vauxhall logo ...it will (if not been opened) be in a plastic cover with the part number on it ...I have 2 originals

I thought it was to good to be true, I was thinking the car had the original head unit, CD player and first aid kit. Still 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

this is the one in mine ...and since it has everything that came with the car when new, I would suspect it is the correct one
