Just got the bill for yesterdays HBV change £150 + parts.
Think it would have been cheaper getting VX to fit it.

Well when I say £150 that was what the bike cost me I bought for his birthday so he's busy chavving it up tonight mudguards computer lights etc. Bet he's gonna want a head unit & sat nav next.

LOL if I did that he'd be even dearer, and he'd spend all day looking where to plug his tech2 into it. ;D

 ;D ;D - Too right.

I remember before i joined these forums, i went to a Vaux garage to get some new windscreen wiper blades, i asked when i bought them could you fit them? never done i before.

He did the usual sucking air though his teeth and said, we will have to book that in for you!  :o

I said, can you do it now? (3 guys in Vx monkey suits drinking tea behind the desk)

More sucking air.... hummm no we are too busy!

Well sod that, posted on some forums, got the instructions and did it myself in 5 mins!

What? you have guys in boiler suits visible from the parts dept?
When I got the HBV yesterday parts is just another desk at the service reception, with a young spotty muppet sat at a pc looking lost. He didn't even know what a plenum was, or where in the engine it fitted then I asked for the HBV and subsequently had to explain that it was a heater/coolant/AC component. I pity anyone who wasn't sure what they needed to do a job cos Spotty was totally clueless. Felt like askin if his Mum knew he was playing in a garage. ;D

Must admit theres an older guy on my local vx dealer parts desk.....who must have been doing the job for years....coz he's pretty good.....bought front pads this morning.....ok so really carnt go wrong there....but then i asked for those clip type thingies for the anti squeal on the rears.....within about 10secs he had an exploded view of the rear brakes on the screen then pointed to the clips and said you mean those. Didnt have any in stock  :( but knew his job  [smiley=thumbup.gif]
