I think that in regard to the VSI and what we get out of the system when logging on for test you can forget any improvements and/or changes. They're looking at the next comp system and I very much doubt that they will throw any more money at this one.

As for the complete balls up in the introduction of the new warning lamps into the test, we'll be "having words" and letting them know what it's like in the real world.

VSI is a waste of time. You tell the computer you are logging on a 1999 Corsa and the VSI says "thase models made after 2007, Identifiable by a 7 as the tenth figure of the vin may have play in the top mounts" or words to that effect. FFS I just told you it's a 1999 car!!!

It's like the VRI page we go through. A guy brought a Daewoo in for test and left his vehicle file on the seat, and the top sheet under the plastic cover was a letter booking him in the next day at the local Chevrolet dealers for a safety recall. Nothing showed up in VRI, and now I think about it, I can't remember ever seeing anything on that screen
