That's brilliant, I hadn't looked at the comments!
There's another article that's linked - https://www.boards.ie/
It's even funnier, honest

I am debating going to a dealer to ask about any recalls on mine. I bought from an independent as I hate the usual big dealers, but I have never had any recall. I am either just lucky or off the radar. What do you think?

put your registration in here Drew and you will find out if you have any outstanding recalls - will only tell you outstanding ones, not ones that have been done.
Went to Drive Hartlepool today regards the recall. I was advised there are two, one to check the fitting of the lower side mouldings and the other to check the fuel breather pipe isn't chaffing. I think I've already checked and sorted the breather pipe but it won't harm them checking. Other that fingers crossed I get the car back unmarked! Booked in for a week on Friday.

Is the "lower side mouldings" the side vx-line skirt coming unstuck?

Yes and no. When I got mine I thought there was a bigger gap at the front of the rear wheelarch on the offside. After my investigation it was a bit bigger! So I ordered some double sided trim tape and fixed it myself. Job done no problems since, there is a small gap but everything is secure. You need a slight gap otherwise things shivver and rub the paint eventually over time causing rust spots. My wifes Corsa has one like this but its 17 so I can excuse that.
I am test driving an SRI Turbo D 170 tomorrow (finally), GOV site only tells me that there is outstanding recall, but when i go tomorrow can they show me something that says its been sorted or can they show me on their computer what it is that needs sorting, not going buy until they've done it.
If its a Vauxhall dealership they will be able to check there are no outstanding recalls or updates . If not Vauxhall, then it would have to be taken to a dealership

Whether it's been done or not. It's a recall so totally free. I wouldn't let it be a deal breaker if they don't know. Does the Gov site say what the recall is? As far as I know, all recalls so far have been for minor things.

It is a Vauxhall group called Drive, GOV web site only states outstanding recalls with the caveat that it can take up to 3 weeks for the info to be updated once done, so god to know they can check/show me. It won't be a deal breaker as you say but would be nice if already done if i buy it, save me the hassle of going back for it or delaying me from getting it home,

The recalls I'm aware of have been to re route the outer rear seat belts (Mine had this recall). A spacer clipped between two pipes to stop them rubbing together and I think a piece of foam fitted above the front wings under the bonnet to divert water. I think there was another but I can't remember what it was. As I say....None of them major.
