We understand that you want to ensure you retain the superior driving experience you get with a Vauxhall, which is why we strive to complete every job to the very highest of standards.

Repairs and Diagnostics

When you think you might have a problem with your Vauxhall you want two things; firstly for the problem to be diagnosed correctly, and secondly for the issue to be resolved effectively.

At Viking, we offer an unrivalled and advanced diagnostic service which has seen us recognised by the AA and RAC for the quality of our work. In terms of repair and replacement, we can provide guarantees on all of our new, used and reconditioned Vauxhall parts to give you peace of mind.

A Range of Vauxhall Spares

Whether you require an entire new engine or just a spare wing mirror, we can help. Unlike some breakers, we can also fit your new part for you, so if you’re not too sure how to do it yourself, you can count on us to get your car back up and running.

We stock spare parts for a large number of Vauxhall models including Corsas, Astras and Vectras.

If you’re looking to get rid of your car then our team of professional breakers can take it off your hands for a competitive price. It is important that you dispose of your car with a reputable breaking firm, and at Viking we are licensed by the Environmental Agency, DVLA and the local council. We are also members of the Motor Vehicle Dismantler’s Association and Car Takeback.

Nic aimed to come home with 70kg extra ballast but only managed 50kg after being spun out in the final. The damage to Nics truck certainly says “if you aint rubbin you aint racin!”

Qualifying went well for the Viking team finishing 1st in both sessions which put Nic 10th on the grid for heat 1 and heat 2. With not too many alterations to the car, the team were ready for heat 1.

Within the first lap Nic had made good head way and was fighting his way through the pack. After a tough battle, Nic was leading, and managing to make good headway whilst the others were fighting for positions. After 12 laps Nic crossed the line first with last years champion #16 in tow.

With Saturdays race over, the Viking Vauxhall team reflected on how the truck had handled, what could they do to improve the truck, and talked of ways to shave time off Nic’s lap times.

Bright and early Sunday morning was heat 2, a much closer and more exciting race than heat 1! The battle between Nic and Steve Dance continued for much of the 12 laps with them changing positions constantly. By lap 11 going into the first corner, Steve tried to overtake Nic, but Nic was to “shut the door” on Steve. The rest of the pack were having battles with eachother which made for fantastic entertainment. Across the line they came with Nic in 1st much to the delight of the Viking Vauxhall team.

With 16 laps for the final, the team were unsure whether Nic’s tyres would hold out as they were struggling after around 10 laps throughout the first 2 heats, but despite this Nic remained confident he could win yet another race, but this wasn’t to be as our good luck was about to turn bad! The Viking team knew the only way they could possibly win was to break out within the first few laps, a task Nic was happy to oblige too. After lap 1 it was clear that Nic was going to have to drive the best he possibly could if he was to battle through the pack and break away. Nic was caught up in one or two ruts which involved other trucks spinning out (none of which were Nic’s fault may we add).

Nic was now fighting for 3rd place with another truck, unfortunately Nic was taken out and ended up at the back of the pack. The damage to the truck was unfortunate and now Nic had no control over the back end of his truck. With current champion #16 breaking away at the front of the pack, there wasn’t much chance of Nic taking home another trophy! The Viking Vauxhall team had suspected a puncture at first but when Nic drove past pit lane it was clear that the damage was much worse. However, like the experienced driver Nic is, he carried on and crossed the line 11th after battling with his truck.

Minus the final race, an fantastic weekend for the Viking Vauxhall team and they look forward to Brands Hatch on Sunday 22nd April!

Nic would just like to thank for Viking Vauxhall team and Exon race engines for their hard work over the weekend.

Below is a photo of Nics wheel rim after the final!

The team came back extremely happy with the performance of the truck, and have high hopes for the 2012 season.

Richard would like to thank the Viking Vauxhall Team for their support throughout the 2011 season, and looks forward to competing in 2012!

Richard had problems in the practice session, with the engine moving, he was unsure if he was going to be able to compete, however he carried on, doubtful if his car would make it through the day! He managed around four practice laps before the end of the session.

When it was time for the final to kick off, Richard had 1 practice lap then 3 judged laps.

Rumor has it, out of 100 points Richard was scored 90 for entrance and exiting of the corners, and his ability to get as near as possible to the various clipping points allocated around the track.

After the first round, it was knockout time, the judges had the task of narrowing the final down to 5 drivers who were to drift again then the title would be announced. Undoubtedly, we were unsure whether Richards name was to be called out, but it was!

Now for the final, against 6 other cars (the driving standards were that good that the judges picked 7 cars to go through to the final as 4 drivers were tied on points)

The Viking Auto Dismantlers team were  doubtful as to whether the car would be able to handle another 4 laps, luck was definitely on our side, as it did.

After a long wait, the drivers were called to the podium, where Richard was announced the ODC Champion of 2011. An amazing few laps for Richard, and an fantastic end to the 2011 season (in 2012!)

Richard is looking forward to qualifying for the 2012 final held later on this year. However, both him and Nic whenever they have won a championship of any kind, refuse to have the #1 on their car as they like to stick to their original car numbers!
