Do you think my car was serviced?
Hi, I bought a 2009 Opel Insignia four months ago. The place where I bought it from promised it had a full service done. A few weeks ago I noticed that every time I used the brakes there was a grinding sound. Also the code 'no 82' came up on the dashboard. Apparently this means that the engine oil needs to be changed.
Over the four months the car has not been used a lot. My question is if the place did a full service, would these problems still occur? The guy who I bought the car from was very dismissive and agreed to do the brakes. But he wouldn't even find out what the code 82 meant - I had to do that myself.
Thanks

Why did the sump plug o-ring have to be changed on the Corsa?
My mam's 2007 Opel Corsa came back from a service with the garage saying it had to replace the 'sump plug o-ring' and I am wondering what could have caused this?

Does my Ford Mondeo Estate have a timing belt?
Hi. I own a 2001 Ford Mondeo Ghia X Estate 2.0-litre petrol automatic. My question is, does my car have a timing belt or timing chain? I have owned the car for five years now and had it regularly serviced, but no one has mentioned a timing belt or that it may need replacing, so I thought I would ask you guys.
