Blimey so your looking to have 5 once all delivered hope they were buy one get one free form autovaux or is it a case of try all as they are not sure which one is specific to your car.
I tend to get 2 posties 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon so if similar you may get them this afternoon all being well.

Look on the 86 quid thread for more details. They sent the first 2 to someone else. Now you're starting to see the rest of why I was so annoyed . . . >:(

Autovaux use a courier.
3 posties a day? Not all on foot? Only one post a day here.......

Impatience is a virtue. Patience is just crappy service.

Yeah, my miggy problems haven't been so much the car's fault :o >:(

Any joy yet :question

Autovaux are still chasing the pkg with Royal Mail. It's now too late for me to fix it today. Looks like it may be Saturday, one week after it broke, before I can get it fixed. >:( It only took 10 minutes to figure out what was broken, one week to get the part that everyone here says is the most common failure on these cars?????? I need beer. (No wonder the beer here is so good, you need it after the service you get here ::) :P )
This isn't all Autovaux's fault, but they seem very busy so they haven't been chasing up as well as they promised. I wouldn't say avoid them, but don't feel that you should buy from them out of loyalty to them or this forum. They obviously have as much business as they can handle, so most people must be happy with them.
-
Thats sods law, with any luck it will be with you soon. :y
-
Well, the delivery helicopter just came by, but could't find a parking spot.
No, I haven't started drinking, but I need to.
-
Chased Autovaux again. Say that Royal Mail was too busy to deliver it today. Swear it will be here tomorrow and that I'll be refunded for overnight delivery. Guess we'll see tomorrow, and if it is a line of BS. If I was more certain of which part I needed I would try to get it somewhere else and send the whole thing back to Autovaux.
Pain in my @$$! >:(
-
Royal Mail just pulled up across the street, and then drove off without ever getting out. >:(
-
And waiting . . . and waiting . . . AND WAITING! :o
Anyone think that they'll actually get here by 10, the latest promised deadline? ::)
-
its turning into a farce isnt it - 13 minutes to deadline... >:(
-
Well, it's 10 o'clock and still no sign of it! >:(
-
And waiting . . . and waiting . . . AND WAITING! :o
Anyone think that they'll actually get here by 10, the latest promised deadline? ::)
I can safely answer NO ::)

Well, some progress finally. Package arrived! :o
Now I'm confused though, what is this about square plug or round plug? Both of them have the same d@mn plug. The part numbers are;
90492061
90540743
Help?

Mark DTM has said previously that the 061 is for the 2.5L, and the 743 should be for my car. So now I have 2 crank sensors for a 2.5 and hopefully the right 1 of the 2 for my car?!?

Is there any other kind?

Theo just called me, got old sensor off ,still not sure which one to use as both will fit. Old one is a Bosch 0761217131. Can anyone cross ref to Vx number? Man standing on road waiting for reply :o
-
It runs, got it home. Story's not over yet, so I'll be back later with more.
-
Whats the latest then Theo?
-
Car is now running fine, except temp guage not working. Must have knocked wire off of sensor.
Scuttle came off easily once I knew what to do. Spent another 2hrs trying to fish out old sensor cable and run new one. Ended up cutting out the old one leaving the connector wedged in the oil lines by the filter. Ran the new one down the side by the exhaust manifold. Now that I know there aren't any other choices, I could do it in 15mins.
None of my new sensors exactly matched the old one. Put in the cheapest one first and it worked.
I was not amused being up to my waist under the first car after a roundabout with everyone flooring it out of the roundabout. Had the hazards on and a wheelie bin set out like a cone. When I did finish the battery was dead.
I will take some pictures for the scuttle guide and a crank sensor guide when I take the scuttle off to plug the temp sensor back in. Meanwhile it seems to idle better without it.
Oh, and Autovaux are useless lying sacks of cr@p. More later AFTER I get my refund from them.

Well done,old son. I hope you are not disheartened by all of this. :y

Once I figure out all of the part numbers for my car, I will happily deal with VX for all of my parts. 4 days for Autovaux to ship parts they said they had on the shelf is just ridiculous, especially when the car was dead. Problems with the car itself would have been tolerable except for the ludicrously terrible service on trying to get parts. My g/f wants me to get rid of the car b/c of the frustration, but the car isn't what's been unexpectedly problematic.

I went to my Vx dealer to enquire about a set of plug leads. I had engine size, year and model derivative(obviously). He asked me for the reg no, then the VIN no, which I gave him.....Nope, need engine no as well. For f*cks sake, a set of plug leads!!!! >:(

That's ok, I went to Halfords once with a dead king lead. Said "I want a king lead this long or longer." The kid asked for my car details and proceeded to say that he would have to order the entire set for my car, despite having racks of various King leads behind him. :-? I found one that would work in 30 seconds. ;)
-
Dare I mention them? ....Autovaux are about half a mile from me. Despite your problems with them, I think I'll go there in future. At least if they give me the wrong bit, I can WALK back with it!

I ordered on Monday, received on Friday. Had to chase them 6-8 times or I would have never gotten it. I am convinced, and have evidence to support it, that they knowingly lied to me almost every time that I talked to them.

Since I could drop in on them every day, perhaps I could become the forums official "moaner", and chase them up when things go wrong :-/

Don't bother on my behalf. They're obviously busy, and I'm happy to leave them to it.
