Re: Ordered new kyb excelg shock absorbers inserts. Do I put oil in strut?
When I put Koni inserts into the original strut on an Astra GTE it was advised to put anti freeze into the strut before the insert to help with cooling.

Gearbox

Rev 5 Turbo here spark plugs Denso IK22 colder than the standard Denso IK20 both iridium and both gapped correctly new, not advisable to mess with gaps on iridium plugs. If you apply copperslip anti seize compound on threads only back off torque by 20% standard torque 13ft-lbs (18Nm).

Power Steering
I think its possible to turn the key to quickly from off to engage starter position because in a thrice the relays have to react.

Belt.
I'm assuming the rubber belts are less flexible and tighten up slightly in a colder environment more so if used less than regular where engine heat helps with this constriction.

What about fuel injector cleaner every 5,000mls STP etc not a fan of Redex myself. Personally i never use supermarket fuels that allegedly have less cleaners!
Fill up with Shell Optimax etc and add STP cleaner or similar and hope the crap gets dislodged and blows out the exhaust.
