2.0 TDi 150 CR strange noise at idle when cold
I'd start by removing the auxiliary belt to see if the noise goes away, after that your into the cambelt area. Does sound a bit like water pump to me.

Any ideas on what this suspension (?) noise might be please? Vauxhall Corsa
If you've changed the anti roll links and the suspension arm ball joints are ok it has to be the shocker. Sometimes the upper nut can come loose on the top which clamps the upper shocker bearing.

SD cards
Hello I tried to remove the left SD card on my car but it seems it has some sort of anti theft tab on it. I think it was an ex hire car so maybe they put them on to stop customers stealing them. Anyone had this problem before? Don't want to yank it out with a pick unless I have to.

Thanks I'll try the 0w/20 to start with maybe update to the 5w/30 or 0w/30 later.

I've got a spare impact wrench I don't really use that's all, a lot better when your at the side of the road in the rain/snow etc. I'll try find a local breakers for a jack cheers.

DRL bulbs
You could put some aftermarket drls into the grille, would be cheaper than a new headlamp.

Spare wheel kit
I don't suppose anyone knows best place to get the jack, wheel brace and tools etc for Octavia estate 3? I have the sponge part but it seems everything else is missing. I might just put an electric impact wrench in the boot for speed so just jack needed really I suppose.

Engine oil ?
I'd stick with the 0w30 longline 3 FE I think it should be, at least until your warranty is up then after that could go to a 5w30 longlife 3.

Mixing coolant after expansion tank change.
You never get all the old stuff out anyway, maybe a few litres when system might take 7. Could refill with distilled water and flush to try get more out before adding the new stuff.
