It doesn't matter how long I drive my omega it won't heat up.
Cue "release the handbrake" remarks  ;)

seriously though, don't let the garages take advantage. Personally I wouldn't authorise them to do any major work until you've had a second opinion, i.e. off HERE! There's a handful of common faults with the omega which tend to raise their ugly head time and time again. What these lot don't know about vauxhalls isn't worth knowing!

Nice car btw, hope you get to the bottom of your, errm cold bottom!  :y

I took my car to a garage on Tuesday and because one of the mechanics was away they kept my car all day and did nothing!

Another garage is changing the thermostat tomorrow so I'm hoping that will fix the problem. They said they would charge £75 plus VAT for the job and I already bought the part for them.  Do you think that's reasonable?

Best wishes.

Some garages aren't keen on fitting customers parts, (all the obvious reasons!) so that sounds fair enough.  :-/
