Hi! New here, just thought I'd say Hi!

 

My name is Natalie, 24 years old. I drive a VX Astra CDTI (2.0) 62 plate. Absolutely love the car :) best car I have ever drove (last car was a clio) I live in West Yorkshire (Halifax)

 

Glad to be part of the community. I was recommended by a friend.

 

Anyways, I'll keep it short.

 

Have a great weekend :)

Hi and Welcome. Did your friend not tell you this is a VX220 forum?

Oh nope, sorry is this just for the VX220? If so I can remove my account. Thank you.

Stay on board and buy a VX220, there have been many on here for years without a VX220

Hi all, could I get your opinion?

 

I know this may be the wrong section, however I couldn't find a more appropriate section.

 

I recently had my brakes changed and wanted to know if this was a fair price?

 Sorry, did I post in the wrong section? I do apologize. I am new here, I did check the other sections but I didn't find a suitable one.

Simple question from the lady. My humble opinion the price seems fair/ok.

I'm here..I did wonder....but erred on the side of guenuine....perhaps Im getting old :)

 

We had a Casandra not long ago...

 

......only question I have for Sandara / Natalie is who is your fiend who recommended you came on here

 

..you are far better off going to a Vauxhall site...all we will tell you to do is upgrade everything and mod anything that moves...in the long run it will cost you alot more money

 

....yes you should go somewhere else or at least start using the correct threads before someone calls Troll..

:blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: Embarrassing.

 

I may be that 'friend'. I saw her post on Pistonheads  in the  'VX' section and as as she referred to VX and didn't mention the model I assumed she was talking VX220 and directed her here.

 

Actually for an Astra that would be even more of a rip off!

 

Sorry Sandara, nut do feel free to hang around....they are (mostly) a nice friendly/helpful bunch here.

Seems far too expensive for just one axle. Although I doubt she'll be back to read this

2 x discs = £35.88

2 x pads = £35.88

 

total = £71.76 then add code vc8sale at the checkout means it's all £66.00 delivered

 

Find a garage to fit it all, maybes about £100 max.

Despite my earlier comment I applaud Natalie's ability to load photos. It's taken some of us years!! Stay around on her Natalie until you get a vx220 - it's inevitable now😀
