Well arnold clark glasgow strike again, car went in on Wednesday to egt the wheel fitted, drove it today for the first time at motoway speeds and guess what?..... yep vibration still their WTF!!! I thought with all the complaining I'd been doing they would at least check the wheel had solved the issue!!!!

Anyway spoke to the salesman in stirling today, he's going to pick the car up monday morning take it to stirling to get the problem indentified and sorted, then drop it back off for me, so fingers crossed it'll be sorted on monday in time to go in for the service and check over at volvomax on tuesday (fingers crossed)

Well car is getting dropped of at home at 8pm, with the problem fixed (hopefully) turns out the nice people at Arnold Clark Vauxhall not only didn't bother to balance the new wheel but they also thought it would be best to put the tyre on the wrong way round!, what a bunch on Clowns I should state again I would Never ever ever trust arnold clark vauxhall in glasgow to any work on your car!!!!

I hope the whole matter is now sorted out, and you can start to enjoy the car properly.

To be honest I found the Stirling branch very good to deal with, I've been round a lot of dealer recently when the girlfriend was looking for her C30 and when I've been looking and I have to say the stirling volvo dealership was one of the best, and I got the car at a very good price (what parkers recon I should have paid in a private sale), its just the Vauxhall dealership in glasgow has been the exact opposite, just a bunch of lying ar$eholes I will never go there again!!!

I've been enjoying the car just not at motorway speeds :-( , I will be much happier driving it if its sorted, then I can really start enjoying it. Going to take it for a thrash when I get home from work tomorrow morning so fingers crossed, Its booked in to volvomax tomorrow for an oil change and a check over so if its still playing up I'll get them to have a look.
