Recently bought a 2008 Astra with 56k miles on it,and am loving it. Will be posting some inquiries about parts and advice.

We are most welcome to have you but there are VERVERYVERY few folks on this forum proficient in SATURN Astra specifics.

And for the love of SATURN Astras, if you can find a domestic source for ANY part of that car that was not a generic GM part used on some other vehicle, please post it -- you're probably helping out 19K people you will never meet.

Pretty sure there are Saturn Astra specialty forums out there.
And they likely point to Opel / Vauxhall UK forums that are of value.

Like I said, we will try to help in any way we can, but our Astra expertise is miniscule, unless someone around here is hiding info......

I'm looking for unicorn horn and hoof polish. What brand do you recommend, derf?

You can actually use blinker fluid for that; it's viscous enough to act like a hot wax, lol...

Welcome to the forum! There aren't many Astra owners here, but Derf will probably spend hours and hours searching for an answer if he can't give one off the top of his head... He's an S-car guy, but regularly answers Ion questions...

Hey Dave, I have some left over muffler bearings. Are you needing any of those?

Can I use them to shampoo unicorn manes and tails?

Absolutely. Seeing as how they're bearings, and contain grease, they'll leave a nice shiny coat!

I hear leprechauns have great hoof and horn polish, you can them for some with a bottle of minotaur sweat, (they make beard conditioner out of it).
