Foglights

[oden of valhall]

Don't get me wrong I love my Holden!
But sometimes you get soooo tired!
I just got back from M-boro,Cleveland.That is a 5h
trip return closest place that can do the service
without warranty probs.
The garage (no names ) knew beforehand a foglight was failing.
After 2.5 h of waiting they told me that the service
was done but to change the bulb they would need another 2-3h because they had to remove the full frontbar to get to it. I gave up.I do not know much
about cars but it sounds like a fault in the design
if it takes trained mechanics 2-3h to change a lightbulb.Were they right? Please advice!

I can remove mine in 15 mins flat............

You can name the the dealer here so they get the message we want good service!!!!!!

Not many Vauxhalldealers in Middlesburough (is that how you spell it ) to choose from .It used to be CD
Bramall I do not know their new name. I think the problem is a Monaro differs from a Corsa in both numbers ( 350 vs 230 zillion ) and need for competence.To be fair they went out on limb for me
by fitting me in ,and although they are an auth. garage for Monaros they had never serviced one before according to themselves. The question remains,how do you change the bulb I do not want to spend 5h in the car
again tommorrow!!!!!

I though it still was CD Bramall at MIDDLESBROUGH

Sorry to hear the bad report, my initial impression with sales was very similar.

Funny my local Vauxhall dealer, Reg Vardy, don't have the Monaro franchise and were fantastic

Are they aloud to service Monaros was my 5h drive
not necessary.Where is Reg Vardy ? How does one change a foglightbulb??????????
Ps All signs are changed to ....Hales or something
previously Cd Bramall Ds
My spelling of M-boro is more poignant, excuse a stupid Jonny Foreigner

How far is Derby from you.

Pentagon Vauxhall are there and are a Monaro dealer.

Not sure what services are like as I haven't had one done but may be worth a try.

E-mail me at [e-mail] if you want the details.

It is a f-king disgrace.
