Leaks & Noises
I have 2003, 1.6 8 valve petrol, at 70,000 miles.
NO oil leaks, no blue smoke out of exhaust, car runs perfect.
Using 0.5 litre per 400 miles, is this normal. Your thoughts please?

This is a common complaint for years on that car . The Astra handbook states an oil consumption of 0.6 litre per 1000 km (1 litre/1000 miles) is to be expected - and that's for new cars !!
