  1. 🌉 From 1 July 2026, an 18-tonne weight restriction will be introduced on #Vauxhall Bridge as a precaution after a recent inspection identified deterioration in parts of the structure. #Transport for #London (TfL) said the bridge remains safe, but limiting heavier vehicles will help prevent further damage while longer-term plans are developed.

    Buses and emergency vehicles will be exempt, and bus services will continue as normal. Around 0.5% of traffic—about 200 vehicles a day, mainly heavy goods vehicles—will be diverted via signed alternative routes in both directions. The bridge has already banned abnormal loads over 44 tonnes since 2023.

    #TfL said routine inspections across its network found reduced load-bearing capacity compared with earlier assessments. The restriction will stay in place while repairs are progressed and a long-term solution is developed, with TfL emphasising safety as the priority and apologising for disruption.

  6. This is Nugget, a 1.2 Vauxhall Corsa B Swing in one of the best 1990s colours. I drove this back in one shot from South London, with no satnav, during a storm, against the clock, to Middlesbrough. Amazing little car, really cemented my respect for them. Sadly the insurance was insanely expensive so it didn't stick around.

  7. Here it is folks, every car I've ever owned. The newest is either the Citroen Xantia estate or the Ledbury Maestro, both from 1997. Still haven't owned a car from this century.

    Let's make this a little thread.

  8. Ah, finally! #Vauxhall have fixed my air con after a summer of sweltering while they forgot to order parts and made me sit listening to rubbish music. Just in time for the winter …

  9. 'Neglected' Liverpool area 'suffered' for years but a new era of 'opportunity' is about to begin

    Everton FC play their first competitive match at Hill Dickinson Stadium today, a site which is hoped to drive a renaissance in the city's northern docks #EFC #Toffees #LiverpoolWaters #Regeneration #EvertonFC #Vauxhall

  10. @frogglin I once had a Miami Blue #Vauxhall #Nova with a #Madonna tape stuck in it. Couldn't eject it. So for a good few years we just listened to one side of it. We sold the car to a friend. And it spontaneously caught fire shortly after. Not sure what that means.
    I hope you can find a more acceptable CD in your collection

  11. When I think back to Summer 2025 my memories will consist of sitting around #Vauxhall buildings and lots of sweating, because they can’t fix shit.

  12. So #Vauxhall have failed again to replace my dead aircon compressor under warranty. It seems they forgot they needed to connect it to the car so they’ve to order a tube and I’ve to go back to Bristol for a third visit and more sitting around listening to shit music for hours. Do buy electric cars; just don’t buy Vauxhall unless it’s old enough for you not to be reliant on their after sales service. They’re muppets.

  13. The #Vauxhall / #Opel #Corsa [2005 Corsa C, 1,4 automatic with actual torque converter, not the cursed Easytronic!] we use as a fleet #car had lost the front left trim from the wing (it was already loose with broken clips, the last driver snagged it on a shrubbery and it ended up in some village road). Managed to source one from a company in SW England (the part itself was made in Türkiye) and fitted it..

  14. They tried to interest me in the Leapmotor T03. Nice cheap car but doesn’t even do 200 miles. In 2025. I don’t blinking well think so. #Vauxhall

  15. And the sofa at #Vauxhall looks as though it has recently hosted a particularly messy sex party, sporting some suspicious looking stains.

  16. #Vauxhall really seem to want to discourage you from darkening their door. They make you wait a month for an appointment, then deny they’ve heard of you, make you wait all day in their “service” office playing urban grime music at you.

  17. That’s the last time I buy a British car. Called into #Vauxhall Bristol for work on their car’s air con. They lost my appointment (they also did this when I first came for a test drive) and then found it, and then said they wouldn’t even look at the car until this afternoon even though I was ten minutes early, so I’m stuck here for hours now. Also, if you want a part, you have to go to a run-down warehouse called Fish Brothers in Swindon. Never doing business with these people again! #CarHorror

  24. TIL: replacing #headlight bulb on #Opel / #Vauxhall #Corsa C is a cursed job, requires lowering whole entire bumper to get the headlight unit out and then the ambient temperature sensor needs to be put back into the bumper..

  25. My wife was advised to start looking for her next #motability car much earlier than usual - so we've been to visit 4 car dealers in #leicester today.

    Three of the four had no disabled parking places available for their customers.
    Vauxhall & MG had cones preventing access to the disabled spaces.
    Renault had no parking spaces for anyone - the only obvious disabled space had a demonstrator car parked in it.
    Hyundai passed the test (and were extremely welcoming & helpful).

    I think this shows how they view not only their disabled customers, but all customers.
    It's a disgrace.

    More next week.

  30. I've mostly always driven #superminis and am regularly on the road late at night - whilst I've noticed other drivers take more chances if I'm in something like the shed of an #Opel / #Vauxhall #Corsa we use as a fleet car, I rarely get bother in the #VWPolo - but I suspect many they see a brown man who looks younger than he is, think "he's probably got a knife in the door card" and their paranoia is the only thing stopping any conflict..
