:lol:

Try going to a Vauxhall dealer to get your car serviced ! You have no idea of how sh*t a 3 cylinder corsa is until you've been forced to use it for a few weeks. 8)
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.

....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

:shock: Not really surprised! Good on you!

Might just have to take my servicing business elsewhere! :evil:
Who did you speak to?

Ps spoke with the sales manager of formula one in newcastle and he says he could get me 48s at cost.

I dont hold a grudge :wink:

Ed,
What was the cost price for A048s from F1?
MMC quoted me £179 each fitted (rears) plus it costs me the run up and down the road from Aberdeen (they wouldn't deliver).

I got a Grand Vitara last time (also warranty stuff). :)
But had to insure it... :(

Cheers,
Ali

Ali, did you not look into getting them delivered to Belmont in Abz?
I would rather have the Vitara!

Bloke just said they couldn't do it. Also an extra charge if I wanted them next day... :(
He was new but I wasn't impressed to be honest. Still trying to sort out my warranty issue with the door locks (get proper keys) but he insisted on starting a new warranty claim...

G, the 206 is better than the last one I got, a Suzuki Alto. Probably the worst car I'll ever drive. It felt like it had done hundreds of thousands of miles but it had only done 500 :P
