Get yourself to a local scrap yard. As someone suggested the other day, it's almost certain that the same clip is used on other models of Vauxhall ie Astra (but my sister-in-law's Astra just has the one on the bonnet)
The Omega's rear dampers' clips (on the boot) both look to be similar/same at the bonnet's damper clips :-\

I'd say breaker here is your best change, might be worth dropping RobG a PM? :y

Hi Guys
been to local scrappy,no Omegas etc,took one off an old Astra and it didnt fit.
If I dont sort it over weekend,and I will try AndyC,then will buy those struts from you Rob (clips included!!! :y),if you still have them.
Then I will have 2 struts to get rid of (clips not included ;D)
unbelievable though,the clips can only be £1 each at the most!

If I go scrappy 2moro I know they had 2omegas in there a few weeks ago,il get them for you.

Thats brill mate,if you could :y
Just rang AndyC,he is on holiday,but the nice bloke there (Rod) said they are not listed as a seperate part.
thank you magic.

There's only one 'nice boy' on OOF SB, and his name is Rob ;D ;)

As I explained to Sandboy via PM about this. If I or another breaker takes the clips off a pair o struts to send to him,we are then left with a useless pair of struts effectively.Might as well just send the struts. ;)

Boot struts ain`t worth a toss. All mine get binned, never heard of one failing unlike the bonnet ones ( and boot sprung retaining clips are same as bonnet)

Im pretty sure Ive sold some tbh. I also have a feeling they re the same as bonnet struts,but Im not certain on that one without looking. :-\

Sorry,the clips had gone :(

Thanks majic for your help and everyone else for their input and comments. :y
I know it's a little thing,but I still feel it's unbelievable that you can not buy such clips seperately!
One more go tomoz.
