Ok. So took the top off. Used my back to 'walk' the top towards the back to its 'tipping point'.
I had no help ( was up early ) but could handle it comfortably by myself....although when i was using the truck as a fulcrum ( when tipping) i did a bit of damage to the plastic....but its the price i paid for doing it myself.
Winters are mild here so cant see the top going back on. May not be the best way to store it ( have cushions on the bottom) but since i live in the city i dont really have much options.
Couldn't resist taking it for a drive before i tackled putting on the softtop. There were looming black clouds in the background so had to be quick.
Next...installing the softop.0 -

Sorry for sounding like a noob but what exactly is dgt ?
Me
So what did I do today?
I got this Berlingo wheel...
Straightened the inside of the wheel
Put on a much smaller profile tyre
Pumped it and cleaned up the wheel
Then painted it up
Excellent! Just need 3 more steel Berlingo wheels and some more 185/55r14s
This can be my spare wheel once balanced :pac:0 -

Discovered my aerial is broke
Woke up this morning and noticed that it never went down when I turned the ignition off last night. Cleaned it up with WD40 and it will go down and back up halfway when it feels like it. The motor is still working but defo sounds like something is obstructing it from collapsing /rising fully.
Another job for the list.... :rolleyes:0 -

Finally got round to changing the pollen filter, windows were steaming up
Most dealers never bother doing it as you have to pull out the glove box to get at it in the Astra. There was a date of 29/7/2007 on the old filter so was needed.
Also hoovered my K&N panel filter and gave the throttle body/carb and good clean up with carb cleaner. And then an "italian tune up" 0 -

Mustn't be the same Sally I know then
Back on topic I put the winter tyres on both cars yesterday, still very mild weather but here in Sweden it's illegal to drive on summer tyres if there is snow on the road between 1st. Dec and 1st. April.invest4deepvalue.com
