  4. 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 …

  9. #Capitalism is dying

    Former car #workers have a moral tale for our times

    Abandoned by company they worked for, let down by #Labour & #unions. They watch their friends turn to #Reform

    A deserted hotel bar; 5 men reminiscing

    Thinking of Friday afternoon in March last year. The place they had worked for 2-3 decades each, making friends, meeting future wives, is shutting for good

    #Vauxhall came to #Luton not long after death of Queen Victoria

  13. Spending the day at the local #Vauxhall dealership for a service and MOT. Already seen one customer give up on them in the first ten minutes, so I guess service is just a problem that the whole franchise has (and it’s not just an issue with Bristol branch I was with before). I’ll be going to independents from here on, and my next car will probably be from Hyundai, Kia, BYD or Geely.

  19. I was struck by this tower of advertising for the GM garage in #Gouda, including the #Bedford and #Vauxhall brands for the showroom which was apparently once integrated into a housing development (which remains). This is close to the railway station on Spoorstraat.

  26. 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..

  30. Buffed out gnarly scratches on 2006 #Vauxhall / #Opel #CorsaC (#Holden #Barina for those in Australia) using mini 12 cordless rotary #polisher, using combination of 30mm microfibre pad / heavy compound + 30mm wool pad and medium compound.

    Always a bit nervous about a rotary but this smol one seems aggressive enough when used on higher speeds but not excessively heavy on 20 year old clearcoat (I checked before and after with paint depth gauge and it isn't taking off loads)

    Some scratches are quite deep and couldn't be entirely removed, but they are way harder to see now especially from 1 metre distance

  36. I'm selling my old but low-mileage Vectra C 150 CDTi SRi, 56 plate, 108k miles (mostly major roads), MOT to October and not expecting any major problems.

    West Yorkshire area. Looking for private offers, as I hear #Vectra enthusiasts will be interested in this one.

    Would especially suit motorway or distance drivers. It's comfy and responsive.

    Boosts appreciated.

  39. Both #Volkswagen and #Opel / #Vauxhall use convention of #brown wire for an earth/ground (and in the case of this Corsa a black wire for L+), but in modern #ElectricalEngineering a brown wire is treated as live (could be either AC or DC) and black is often L- on older systems (nowadays blue or grey is preferred depending on whether the DC is negative or positive earthed).

    I assume these conventions for #cars started long before the standardised European colours for electrical wiring in buildings and other equipment

    Which you have to beware of if you often switch between #CarMaintenance and general electric work!

  42. 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 ]
