quick update - just came home from seeing my dealership they are still chasing Vaux technical. Field engineer coming tommorw to see her (possibly). Having spoken to dealer just a minute ago vaux have said they have 4 auto boxes in the country so mine can be changed when asked the question bout oil appaently now they can get t the question is tho WHEN!!!
maybe their change of mind stemed from the fact that i gave them an altamatum convert to a manual, brand new car (manual) with all my bits back on it (supercharger,etc etc etc) or my money back. or stop messing me around and get on with sorting it out.
my dealership is great and i cannot fault them at all. The service manager is constantly chasing vaux it seems that Luton slow off the mark. The car is 7 months old and of that it has spent about 10+ weeks in the garage

quick update - TELL US WHICH DEALER AS WE HAVE FLUID WAITING !

Dougie saw this earlier and started investigating and sourced fluid. He's asked you where the car is because at the moment we're chasing people to see if anyone has spoken to a dealer about a VXR8 auto box.

If you'd tell us then we can dispatch the fluid asap.

i know Dougie saw it earlier but i had to give my dalership a chance. As it happens they have now sourced fluid from the Manchester area.
we have een told hopefully we will get the car back next week. My dealer is in Oxon area but they could only go by what the big guns told them.
Thanks fo your help though im sure i will be in need of more info soon as my car does really like the garage!!!
I am pretty sure that the service man at my dealership actually went out of his way to source this oil, on his own as he was told that even Vauxhall Europe did not have any.
