The Cheltenham #Vauxhall dealership screwed up my MOT by catching a fault and missing something that the next (slightly more reasonably priced) garage picked up and which I then had to have fixed before I could be road worthy again! Never going to a dealership again …

Heads up to anyone looking for used #cars in #Europe - many #Vauxhall / #Opel have active recall due to a dodgy #airbag - I'm currently searching for a car for a relative and two that turned up on various online private sales and had outstanding recall notice. (this doesn't happen with dealers, as its illegal for dealers to sell a car with outstanding safety recall)
I suspect #Stellantis dealers are taking so long to fix these (especially ex the #GM models, which are getting much less support than those post-takeover) that folk are simply selling their #cars rather than book them in to be fixed..

Today new #sparkplugs, #coolant refresh and #oil change - had to jack up car and put ramps underneath other way round rather than drive on to them - bumper slightly fouls ramp ( #bladibarsket ).
Also chocked rear wheels for #safety
Sparkplugs are #Bosch 0 242 230 806 FQR8LEU2
( #AltText contains useful info on tools, methods etc if you have a #Vauxhall / #Opel / #CorsaC #HoldenBarina with #Z12XEP #engine, I try to put this info in the text on any of my #toots about #CarMaintenance )
[ as there's spare space in this toot I added #Holden #Barina as hashtags for anyone here who is in #Australia or #NewZealand #Aotearoa ]

Cooler today (only 25°C) so did exterior #valet of #Vauxhall / #Opel #Corsa - started with #snowfoam mix of Autoglym Polar Blast + BiltHamber Surfex HD at 10% (wouldn't normally use anything as heavy as that but you can see state car was in previously!)
Contact wash with CarPro Reset. No pics of snowfoam due to working fast because heat!
Single stage polish with Koch Chemie 3.01 mild compound+carnuba #wax, cheap cordless DA (compatible with #Makita batteries) and orange pad that came with it.
I'm fairly new to machine #polishing and didn't use best technique and too much polish (though some on YT recommend keeping pad saturated when working in hot weather to prevent polish drying out, and this seemed to work, #bodywork on this #car far from perfect anyway!)
