Had the A/C done at a VX garage, Forgot all about the dash cam, It recorded the whole ordeal, Be surprised how they treat your car  :o ... and how overly nice they where once they spotted the camera "Oh we being filmed" , Around 5 or 6 gathered around the car at one point  ;D ;D ;D ::)
That's worth posting up... see what's what...

Wonder if there are any implications with it being filmed on private property without the peoples consent  :-\ .. or is it not classed as private property not sure seen as it's a restricted area...?

Oh yeah I also forgot to mention they where revving it allot, Hitting the rev-limiter at times... Driving around with the bonnet up through narrow areas etc..

Sod the implications!  I'd be having a stiff word with the Service Manager if I was you!  >:(

Did get the service done at £30 all in should have been £60 + Vat, Can't imagine why  ::)... I'm happy with that unless it leaks after they said it isn't then i'll be going back there.

By sounds of things they hadn't seen an omega before saying things like "good f**k**g car" - "this car has f**k**g bose"

Fitted new front discs and OEM pads, painted calipers and brackets and bled new fluid throughout on the 2.6. Will need to repeat the whole process on the 3.2 before it's MOT as well (oh well, not for a few months yet).

 ;D Definitely not! I couldn't face moving the wheels allllll the way from the shed to the garage until now. It must be at least 30 feet.. ;D

Inside edge of the rear winters are as bald as a .. bald thing. Oops. I don't think they'll make another winter! But then I'm not sure the car will either so it's probably a moot point ;D

I damn near melted! Had to clear the garage out to get the M3 into it as well as we've got builders in on Thursday and we're now away until Wednesday night ;D There's nothing like a little motivation to get one moving, eh! ;D

Oh yeah, also noticed on the run up to Solihull that there's a groan/low buzz that disappears if you steer right.

That'll be an offside wheel bearing, then  :'(
