Nice job, I have never managed to get the v band clamp on properly first time either, I tend to loosen the downpipe from the mid section as it's easier to maneuver. Hope that it's working perfectly for you now mate 👍

It’s a shame you got rid of the Corsa as I have one of those and the videos were a good source of info. But I’ll still watch to see how the Astra gets on. Quick question if I may - how can I tell what engine code I have? I think it’s either A16LER or B16LER. It’s a 14 plate and has the shift up indicator on the dash. Thanks
