Anyone reached this yet. Just reached it today in my 51 reg Corsa C. Anyone know what problems are likely to occur soon and what I will need doing on my 2nd service.
Had pads and discs changed recently.
Also, can anyone help me with wheel spacers? Got some for my 17s on the front but people are tellin me it can seriously mess things up. Cheers (they are universal spacers and not the sort that fit in with the centre bore)

I wouldnt only put the spacers on the front, put them all round cos if u only put them on the front it will mean the track is wider on the front than the rear.

Well, ive got 17" Kahns on the front with an ET45. Put spacers on front as they were rubbin on brake calipers. They are universal spacers.
Lad at work said if you dont have em with a centre bore to put into your wheels, they will knacker the threads of your hub or something.
Ive been noticing vibrating at around 70mph and they also pull to either side mostly when braking. Originally thought it was balancing/tracking though this lad said it is down to spacers.
As I dont have much clue with wheels as its my first proper set, was looking for advice!

You'll have another 1 years warranty left after this service, if i was you i'd get any niggling little problems sorted out before its run out of warranty.

New engine? WTF happened?
Ive not had much trouble apart from the brakes. Had problems with it cutting out sometimes and the rev counter not working afterwards but hasnt done this for at least 15k.
