hi mot today failed on the back shocks leaking on v6 elite estate could someone tell me how much and how hard to change thanks beconboy :'(
-
Gen VX self levelling for V6 estate are £100 retail, £85 trade and £63 Trade Club, each, all plus VAT. Might get cheaper elsewhere but not so sure of potential quality.
Relatively straightforward to replace - jack up a corner, place and use axle stand, remove self levelling connection, remove top and bottom bolts and reassemble... :y
-
thanks for reply better start saving lol ;D
-
I would also check out a motor factors for costs. Could be you will get a reasonable make at comperable price or cheaper. The old story - you get what you pay for.... Sometimes you buy cheap and end up paying dear! ;D
-
They are about £145 the pair on TC (and must be changed in pairs like all suspension components). Get a TC card, the savings on the shocks along will pay for it :y

TC, is Trade Club card, its for the trade and gets you a very good discount at Vauxhalls on most routine service items plus trade discount on all other parts.
If you are not in the trade then the easiest way to get a card is to pay £20 and join a club like...

Does anyone know if Trade Club is accepted on the Continent at Opel dealers, specifically here in Spain?
I am beginning to think I ought to get myself one..........

I think that's very unlikely. and they'll be even more perplexed by autobahnstormers than most UK dealers seem to be.
Can you ask one? or maybe there is a Spanish equivalent?
-
Trade Club is a Vauxhall initiative, not Opel, so unlikely :(
-
thanks for the answer about tc card :y
