Where is the oil leak coming from in my Opel Astra?

Hi lads. I have a 2005 Opel Astra four-door saloon. there is a lot of oil leaking from what looks like a plastic valve about two inches in length at the front of the engine. It leaks when driving. Looking into the engine on the left side above the alternator. What is it called and what does it do?

Thanks a mill, Michael

Is the insurer valuing my Opel Corsa correctly?

Hi, I wonder can you help. I need to renew my car insurance and they have the value of my car at €14,000. It is a 2007 Opel Corsa Club with about 34,000 kilometres on the clock. Any idea what the value should be at this stage? It might bring down the insurance. Worth a try!

Thanks

How much should Revenue value a Nissan Skyline saloon at?

Hi, I've been looking into buying a Nissan Skyline recently and found one for sale in the North here on offer for £4,995 (an offer of £4,150 was accepted almost straight away by the dealer through email correspondence). However the Revenue Online Service values the car at €2,468. I'd like to know what you consider to be the value of this car as I can't find any comparable Skylines to get a good guide of the price.

Thanks.
