My new Gtc problem already - DE5IRED - 11:th-Aug-2014

Mad

Hey guys sorry for the delay with the pics it's been a long weekend and finally
Parked the car up and stayed in doors lol

I picked up my gtc on Friday and after a long wait at vauxhall everything was good to go
I've literally been over the moon with the car and even happier now I've finally got it.

As some of you know I was looking at getting some tint just couldn't decide how dark to go and if
I should do the fronts and the rears or just the rears so Once I left vauxhall I went straight to auto shades
In Sutton Surrey and ended up just getting the rears done with the option of possibly getting the fronts done in the future.

Anyways after being on the buzz of getting the new car and getting the rears tinted i was at a set of lights at a halt and I could here a whining noise from the front droning through the inside of the car at first I possibly thought it was just a fan and I was being paranoid but as I pulled away the noise stopped and continued to drone and make noise mainly when slowly coming to a halt or pulling away.

I took it back to vauxhall to get told I should live with it for a couple of weeks and then book it in even know the mechanic and parts manager clearly could hear the noise to which neither of them had a clue what it was.

I have booked the car in for tomorrow 5pm along as I can make it from work and have been told they will have the car for a couple of days and give me a car till mines fixed. So not been best pleased with vauxhall .

I love the car and I would defend it to the high hills if I had to but just annoyed already I have an issue

Anyways some pics should be below haven't got many and there not great ones but have a look Wink

My new Gtc problem already - DE5IRED - 11:th-Aug-2014

Didn't get them in the end one minute he wanted 100 and then said 150 so I just said forget it I'll swallow my standards for abit


My new Gtc problem already - DE5IRED - 11:th-Aug-2014

I was so peed off with the car once I heard the noise I didn't want to spend £1 on it after that lol


My new Gtc problem already - Rusty2009 - 11:th-Aug-2014

My new Gtc problem already - DE5IRED - 11:th-Aug-2014

My new Gtc problem already - tucpal - 11:th-Aug-2014

very nice car they do look real good in white
sure they will get it sorted everyone has a niggle at the start
but they are generally good and will get it done for sure.


My new Gtc problem already - DE5IRED - 11:th-Aug-2014

Thanks mate Wink wasn't expecting a niggle on day one tho lol


My new Gtc problem already - tucpal - 11:th-Aug-2014

the last checks on the car are done by the owner
they don't test drive the car out of the factory they just drive them to the car park
the warranty will cover any mishaps

i had a few things wrong when i picked my car up but all sorted out now
it is worrying but dont panic you will get it all sorted

Lovely motor buddy.


My new Gtc problem already - cornishtaz - 12:th-Aug-2014

Looks good mate. £150 for the rear lights is still a good price the outer lights new are £180 each


My new Gtc problem already - J1ODYA - 12:th-Aug-2014

Cool, and except for mine is lowered, has different wheels, stickers & the front number plate relocated... It looks just like mine lol


My new Gtc problem already - DE5IRED - 12:th-Aug-2014

Dropped it off today and have been given a auto insignia elite :( better than nothing I suppose one thing I am literally even more gutted mine didn't come with those adaptive head lights as this insignia has them I can't believe how good they are.

Been told car should be done Thursday so fingers crossed
