Vauxhall are wankers! It's official 
Picked up my car this morning for it's first service, they said they'd have it back to me by 6 o clock tonight. I planned a night out with the girlfriend (TGI's) and expected to see the car in the drive when i got home from work, is it there? is it fuck.
Phone the bastards at 6:50 and apparantly they're closed when their website says they close at 7.
well fucked off i tell thee.

Ring the coppers, tell them someones stolen your car and you've located it in the car park at your Vauxhall dealers. That should get it back for you, might get some revenge on them too

Go down in the morning, walk into where its parked, with spare key take it, nobody will confront you as they are usually not intelligent enough to realise someone is taking a car, then park it round the corner and scratch the side skirts,
then go see the receptionist, tell her to go get your car and observe the panic as they think it has been stolen, then after they break the news to you, tell them that it was parked out on the road overnight and was damaged, then get your skirts sprayed vauxhall quality for free  ............Pikey style but might work

Should be able to take corners a bit quicker due to the lower profile and wider tyre, dampers felt similar to std dampers but were probably stiffer but count tell from just driving round the car park.

i noticed a big difference without a doubt, not as much body roll as before and can definitely take corners with more speed.
Just gotta choose some wheels!

rang them up this morning, apparantly they were trying to get through to me yesterday afternoon but there was no answer (bollocks).
Service has cost me £112. That's quite an expensive oil and filter change so I'm assuming other stuff has been done. Car is being delivered back home sometime today so will have a look at the worksheet when I get back

dont think so mate, first service is a 'small service' (simple oil and filter change and a visual check). Wasn't expecting it to be over a tonne though.

The service you dont pay for is literally a check at anywhere between about 500 and 5000 miles. They only top fluids up if necessary. Nothing is changed.
