Max, we(Mrs G and I) are doing a charity walk accross the Seven bridge on Sunday for CF. If your ok with it, and theres enough mileage left on the srvice interval, meet me In the south car park and I'll do your cam belt there.
Forecast for the morning is horrific though. . Which is absolutely bloody typical.
Afternoon "should" be ok though.
If I do the work, and your happy, all I ask is a suitable contribution of your choice to the charity. How's that?
Failing that, AndyB's offer sounds too good to miss.
but lets face it.....what a nice offer from chris
Yes it sure is
I was convinced that the ugly bugger didn't have a heart
Nah, if I had a heart I'd drive down there all the way. I'd love the journey, if the traffic behaves, In my omega through that part of the world.
...but unfortunately it's too late now, as the guy who usually lends me his locking Kit is not available now.
we won't have time to pick up and still make the start time of the walk.
Over to AndyB.
I think with newer members that want to help, and I think he was genuinely trying to help, that there's an element of not wanting to look daft in front of everyone. So stick to guns instead of research the actual correct situation. As Daz says, Allan's mechanic might(for arguments sake) have been absolutely correct about a number of other things, but just hot this one wrong.
But two seconds on Google would reveal the answer i suspect. Although if the info came from a dealer, I think that gives a clue as to the quality level dealers have sunk too.
As a note to newer members this place, historically, is littered with poor advice from dealers. Service intervals on,
Oil changes
Auto box fluid
Cam belt intervals
Spark plug life
ALL PROVEN TO BE INCORRECT FROM VAUXHALL... so what chance do the back street guys have? they can't possibly know every piece of service info from every manufacturer ever to exist, just on the off chance that particular car rolls up at their door.
There is info in FAQ on oof recomended service interval v what vauxhall say. The difference is startling. Why? Story is, Vauxhall wanted to impress fleet managers with cheap and longer service intervals re other manufacturers, to improve sales.
Non of that BS is relevant to us. Any sensible owner will be keen to know that their car will last as long as possible, and oof is an ideal oppertunity to focus all that on one model. Something no other organisation is capable of to this level of honesty.
Fe@kin sales, who needs em!
