I don't get it. You tried proper Monaro specialists (six listed in our area on the Vauxhall web site), and every one refused to do the work?

That just seems wrong. Suggest you escalate to someone in Vauxhall proper, maybe the VXR brand manager would be interested (cough) wink

That is pathetic. I can understand your frustration, try escalating it with Vauxhall though. I'm sure they'd be interested to know.

I can highly recommend Motorbodies in Luton, they did some warranty work on mine no problem.....although that's probably too far south?

A bit further but 'Bellingers' at Oxford are still ok. In fact just had a service letter from them but went to Monkfish

It is so annoying that main dealers cannot touch the car - at least VX won't pay them for it. WhenI bought the car I actually phoned VX to complain - got me nowhere, for a 'Premium' brand it is not very well supported.

That said the specialists know what they are doing and based on the VMAX run the cars are almost in supercar performance territory and would you trust a tech who spends most of the time on a nova with your 500?

Would not be a bad idea to have a VX central tech who visits theparts of the country that is not well covered in a van with all the bits.

Grose's of Northampton did the recall on mine in March this year (seat straps). They have the new VXR8 on display, so I can't see why they cant do yours.
Having said that,I did have problems gettin the warranty work done on my first car after Roger @ Monkfish serviced it.I spoke to a Mrs Joanne Taylor at Vauxhall, I understand that she is the P.A. to one of their directors. She was great, and soon whipped them into shape. I've looked for her phone number, but seem to have lost it, but if all else fails try to contact her
Real last resort is bring your car round my house, and I'll look after it! L.O.L.
