Virgil (my astra turbo) is poorly and in the garage, after the ignition switch packed up, dont know when and has been leaving the starter motor engaged, and yesterday the starter packed up in a cloud of smoke. He's now sat at my mates garage waiting for a new igniton switch & started motor!! Just hoping it doesnt cost too much!!!! :'(
