Hi,

I will be changing a switch in my climate panel along with adding a rear electric blind ;) and switch.  Will grab some piccys at teh same time.  Not sure when I am going to do this as time is tight at present.  Hopefully it will be before the winter really sets in.

I asked my Dad about this when I looked at the 'Mega before buying it off him. The left side and middle displays didn't work. I asked if he'd mentioned it at Vauxhall when it was serviced,this was his reply...

"They told me they've got to take half the dash out to do it so its gonna be expensive,so when they told me they wanted £200  :o :o to repair it I said just finish the service so I can pick it up"

I replied.. "leave it with me!!"

I Promptly 'borrowed' the car,nipped dowm to Vauxhall,picked up 2 bulbs (fixed cap twist type that cost me about a fiver) and half an hour of my time late and they were fixed  :y

So can someone please tell me how they can justify this sort of money to a job that takes half an hour??  :-?

At least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask when he robbed people!!!!
