Davetheref Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 maz Is this the new one you just picked up last week? Quote
mumof4 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Posted May 30, 2007 I pick her up this friday..they are putting her thru the MOT and correcting/replaceing anything that needs doing..when i rang before, they were working on her..they have find a pipe that is split which they are replaceing, they are also checking everything else.I dont have to pay for any work they do or any parts they replace.

mumof4 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Posted May 30, 2007 aye, i did mention that to them..came out as lambada though..bloke on the phone just laughed.lol Quote
mumof4 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Posted May 31, 2007 New cat on order..should arrive in the morning.Everything else is ok...so hes changing the cat to see if that will make the emissions pass. Quote
Dave-G Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 dunno what the worlds coming to... dirty dancing with a vectra :angry2: Quote
mumof4 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Posted June 1, 2007 Ok...new cat fitted on the vectra and she passed with no advisories.Reason she failed the emissions was that the cat was empty!.its supposed to be filled with honeycomb whatever it is.Soo..shes had 2 new front springs, new cat and everything else is tip top!..Couple of spots of rust to sort out on the wheel arches, considering on how much work they have done on her to get her thru the mot as the cat was the last resort..i think i got a hell of a bargain.Shes lovely...but not a patch on the gal...The cat itself cost 150 quid....and..bonus which i didnt realise..is that it already has a cd player in it.LOL.

teresa Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 well hope you enjoy ur new car i know its not a gal but at least you,ve got wheels Quote
Guest wolfie Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 and..bonus which i didnt realize..is that it already has a cd player in it.LOL. oh good you'll need something to keep you awake on your legendary drives to the shops! http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/images/smilies/drive1.gif Quote
mumof4 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Posted June 1, 2007 thanks Teresa, will post sum pics soon as. yup wolfie :) was most shocked wen i saw the cd player.lol.just got no code for it..do'h! Quote
katman Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 The cat itself cost 150 quid....and..bonus which i didnt realise..is that it already has a cd player in it.LOL. I know modern cars are being fitted with more and more gadgets but I think having a catalytic converter with built in CD player is going a bit far :huh: :) Glad you are mobile again MO4 :) Quote
mumof4 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Posted June 1, 2007 :rolleyes: :D Thanks Katman.... Today was the last day day i could drive the gal, arrangements being made to hand her back... :D Mind, head unit is coming out...will put it in the classified section.LOL. Quote
katman Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 Today was the last day day i could drive the gal, arrangements being made to hand her back... :rolleyes: Sad day indeed :D :D I have had mine for almost 3 years now and would be gutted to lose it, even if I was changing it for another Galaxy. It is definately the nicest vehicle I have ever owned. Quote
Guest wolfie Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 (edited) you left much fuel in the galaxy? I'd run it till the needle was just past the red zone and then hand her back, that and having left the interior lights on over night would make it a fun trip for the collection agency , oh and the couple of stink bomb left under the drivers mat :rolleyes: those kids of yours are a nightmare :D and dont forget to lower the tyre pressures and remove the jack/tool kit/user handbook/service manual/spare wheel and tax disc! you can claim back whats left on it! and make sure you fill in the log book and send it off stating that you are no longer the owner!

mumof4 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Posted June 1, 2007 Fuel on bottom of red...ran her the last time earlier before i started drinking..took her for a good long spin ....gonna miss her.What good will the spare tyre do me?cant put it on the vecta.LOL. Manual etc all covered in oil and well thumbed so no point putting them in the Gal...Ah well...Nothing i can do about.Shes a damn good runner..cosmetically she is battered...but by god can she fly..and that i will miss.I hate to see her go...one day..i will get another. Heres a couple o pics of the vectra. Quote
katman Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 What good will the spare tyre do me?cant put it on the vecta.LOL. Will it fit a Mk3 Galaxy ? A few of them seem to be lacking spare wheels LOL :rolleyes: Quote
