Service done but need new locking key
Service done. Had to pay an 1/2hr labour for them to untwist a brake pipe after I had new brakes done a few months back.
Was told he couldn't get the locking nut off as the key was rounded.
I would have thought anyone with some sense would have called me and told me about this and offered to sell me a new wheel nut key but no. He managed to u twist it without removing the wheel anyway.
Parts dept was closed when I picked up the car so does anyone m ow how much vx charge and is it a new key or d

Emission Control Service
Hi All,

So I have a big service on Monday and I've been told I should get an emission control service too which is only an extra £25 of my hard earned money. Now it was explained as a sort of engine flush along with flushing oil out or something before they put fresh oil in... Sounds beneficial! Wondering if you guys would recommend this or is it just a scam?

Thanks

'Service vehicle soon' message
For a week or two each time I start the car, I am getting a message which reads 'Service vehicle soon'. Does anyone have any experience and is this telling me it is producing a fault code somewhere (as this is what I suspect) ? If so, does anyone have a fault code reader in the Cheshire area that may be able to offer some help and advice? Thanks, Graham in Winsford.

Service Plan
Can I ask what people's thoughts on this service plan from the dealership are;

[Image: http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/04/...f76e27.jpg]

The bit that's hand written basically means that it should normally cost £650 but they quoted me at £453. As for the AA bit, after the first service they activate the AA top level of cover for a year and it gets renewed after every service for 3 years. This means that I get cover to the value of £142 year via AA totalling roughl

Radiator Fan and Service TAG Issue
Hi all.

Just had my car serviced today, they said they cannot reset the service notice as it just keeps coming back, and it probably means there is an issue somewhere.
They also said that the radiator fan runs on high constantly. This I had noticed about 4 days before booking it in, it just started.

It came about as I start the car, the fan would kick in and run on low or medium, I thought it odd as it normally would only come on when hot or idling. After about 5 mins of driving the fan s

Major service now struggles to start
Hi guys, vx did a major service yesterday. Started the car and it struggled to fire up eventually it did. I put it down to maybe fuel needing purging or something like that.

Left the car for an hour and same thing took about 5 seconds to start.
Now I do still have the problem with glow plugs (don't know how much it will cost, anyone any ideas?) but it still started perfectly fine.
Anyone got any ideas what I can look for? I have a plan with warranty direct so wonder
