yep.. wheels and hose for me.. bugger.. have to either match the fronts or get all 4 sprayed again :-(

oh and the pain of letting muppets near my car... ... arghhh!!!....

This is all very strange timing!! But perhaps money saving!! Martin (two4oneuk) was about to lend me his Turbot wheels whilst I got mine powder coated!!

Do they even stock NA wheels?! There is going to be a sudden huge demand for the feckers. How much do they cost? Are they are well to buy us Team Dynamics from TMS?

Another thing - if we get new rears, we'll have one set of spanking shiny wheels and one set of crappy 5 year old ones - mines have peeling lacquer and all sorts.

She said to allow 60 minutes for the wheels and 90 minutes for the hose - so 2 1/2 hours. Not sure they will give me a courtesy car for that long

Just phoned them about my 03 NA. They've been inundated with calls apparently.......... Wheel and Vac Hose as expected but still needs the Airbag doing too. I've had my car three weeks and wasn't sure if my car had been covered in these recalls. I phoned the number - gave them the registration number - and they told me immediately what was outstanding. In my case, they had the details for the previous owner which was corrected over the phone (I only got my new V5 yesterday - they hadn't caught up yet). I'd better get booked in before I find myself at the back of a very long queue. Another good reason to be here. Cheers!

90 mins for the hose ? - how does that work ? considering its 60 mins for 2 wheels ?!

i complained that it was a 40mile trip to the dealer and then id have to take a day off unpaid as i have no holiday left and i just pointed out well it is your fault lol called dealer tho and they say they need to look at the wheels first to see if they are affected !! like fcuk im going to drive all teh way out there just for that !!

September 2001, mine needs doing. Definitely going to buy a new set of tyres to be put on FOC too. My car has recently come back from Luton, dont know why they didnt do the checks when it was in? This is great, Vauxhall are slowly replacing my car for a new one.
