The Future Of Vauxhall- Introducing The Vauxhall Monza

This week the Vauxhall Monza was revealed ahead of its official debut screening. The new concept car is due to influence the styling of future models for Vauxhall, bringing Vauxhall into a new era for performance and design.

One singular image was released earlier this week of the Monza concept to tease Vauxhall fans. The image shows Opel/Vauxhall CEO Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumnn kneeling down next to the vehicle, proudly grinning at his design.

Car critics and enthusiasts have all noted that the Monza concept shares very little similarities with current Vauxhall car models on the market with comparisons being made to Audi R8. However, you can still see Vauxhall traits within the grille so not everything has changed!

Reports are circling that the Monza concept will be a sporty coupe, however Vauxhall has neither accepted nor denied this fact so we’ll wait and see.

Soon to be released car models such as the Audi A5 Coupe and the BMW 4-series coupe are likely to be rivals for the latest Vauxhall car.

So what does the name Monza mean we hear you ask? The name refers to the Opel Monza coupe, which was built between 1978 and 1982 and which was badged as the Vauxhall Royale in the UK.

As Vauxhall part specialists we can’t wait until more details are released, so make sure to keep checking our blog at MegaVaux for everything Vauxhall related!

How You Can Cut Your Petrol Costs

As the UK economy isn’t too great at the moment we could all welcome some money saving tips which is why here at MegaVaux we have come up with some easy ways you could save money on your petrol costs.

ALWAYS price compare

This may seem like an obvious point but simply driving past a petrol station or two doesn’t count as comparing the market. Now with the use of modern technology it is now even easier to compare different company prices even from your mobile device, which is ideal if you need to fill up on the way home. Simply before you get in your car to drive do a quick comparison to check to see the closet and cheapest petrol station to you.

De-clutter your vehicle

It’s surprising how much unneeded clutter you can carry in your vehicle without you even thinking about it. Have you still got your roof rack attached from your holiday you had earlier on in the year? How many unnecessary mechanical tools do you keep in your vehicle, what is the likely hood you’ll use them? Spare just 5-10 minutes to give your car the once over to see what extra weight you’re carrying – Just think, the lighter the vehicle the less petrol you will use.

Check your tires!

Don’t forget to check your tires! Driving on under inflated tires will make you use more petrol. This is down to your car tires creating more resistance when moving, therefore your car works hard which will result in you using more fuel.

Drive sensibly

Having an erratic driving style can cause you to use excess amounts of petrol, this means if you tend to break sharply or accelerate excessively you may want to reconsider your driving style. We recommend staying alert to the flow of traffic, have travel alerts switched on through your radio so you are more prepared on the road.

These simple tips are easy to follow and could make a big difference when it comes to your driving style and your weekly petrol outgoings. At Megavaux we pride ourselves on providing useful hints and tips which may help you, as well as providing you with all your quality Vauxhall and Opel spare parts.

Buying Car Parts Online- Why You Should Be Buying Your Parts Online

Every time your car breaks down it’s often followed up with a quick call to the garage to book your car for a check over. This often results in an expensive bill for something which technically you could have fixed yourself if you just had the thought to do so.

However, technically you know all this already- So what’s holding you back? Lack of time, skill, knowledge? All of the above doesn’t have to stop you from buying your car parts online as you can get professional mechanical advice but opt to purchase your own parts rather than letting them do so.

Purchasing your parts online rather than letting a garage do it for you means you can avoid that nasty little VAT charge you often find added when you let a garage buy the parts for you.

If you have no mechanical knowledge or skill, how about asking a friend first, even if they want some money for their time you can bet it would be cheaper than any garage! Even if turning to a friend isn’t an option you can always ask a mechanic to fit the parts for you.

Plus, shopping online for car parts couldn’t be easier! At Mega Vaux you can easily navigate round the site by choosing the model of your car. If you can’t find the part you’re looking for you can put a request using our car part request form on site.
