I've just had news that she has passed. :y

I was told the coil spring was broken about 8 months ago so how is it possible? (unless a broken spring is not an MOT failure)

I can only assume that the Signum is such an advanced design that the metal 'heals itself' like a broken bone. It is either that or witchcraft. ;)

That's brilliant news Opti!!

Your lucky day eh! 8) 8) 8) :-*

I'll take you for a spin later Lizzie......and even allow you to take the wheel. :-* :-* :-*


Are you sure Opti you would want me to? :o :o :o ;D ;D

We could stop for a spot of lunch in a charming country pub......and then. :) :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* ;)

Vectra springs are easy enough to change, cost about £40 each last time I did a pair ;)

I'm expecting it to fail on a broken spring at the front. Other than that it's fingers crossed. :y

I've also asked then do do an oil and filter change. I supply the oil and filter they charge £20 to do the job.

Where do you get it done? Many places get sniffy about doing labour only & id like to do the same ...


It's a little family run business in Powys.

Labour charges (when I'm here) are usually £40 P/H.

And there was me thinking Sleaford way! Doh .....

How much do people pay these days for a MOT? I paid £25 which I thought was rather good for a Vx specialist

£35 at the garage 100m down the road. They even park the car in front of the house when it's done.

Five indie garages in close proximity to me, they all charge what the lowest priced one charges, about £30 I think.
