Hi All,

Title says most of what I need help with really. My car has not even reached 60k Miles yet and has Most of it's service history (Even a stamp book from the original owner) but it does seem to feel at least half of the 24 years of age.
I'm aware there are some basics to be done (Oil was changed and filter replaced not long ago at all) but Spark plugs are easily the highest priority.

I've replaced and oil Pressure Switch (Was causing a Light on the Dash) and an Alternator Belt since I've had it (Old one was very dodgy).

As far as I am aware this is a Low Milage - Original Spec Phase 1 Astra and I've had the joys of driving it for months already.

TL;DR - Please advise on parts to replace and areas to check to restore some power!

Check and replace all rubber hoses if they feel hard and stiff.
New plug leads may help a little.
New fuel filter.
Have the injectors cleaned and flow tested.
Fit free flowing headers along with a straight thru silencer.
IF it has a separate drive belt for the water pump or fan I wouldfit a new one seeing the other belt was dodgy.
