Cheers guys there's one real thing that I struggle with is there seems to be no other source of brand new vauxhall parts apart from the main agents, in my area theres normally at least one other company which provides main dealer bits at discount prices but so far nada.
About to crack on with the good old head gasket wish me look that its the car that looses its head and not me.
