Dealer, as said, about £170 a pair on TC (sure the likes of Zok have TC access up Bolton way).  Replace in pairs, obviously.

Is Zok a person ? If so how would I contact him ? Or would it be better to register at a TC myself through work ?  Do you thimk that anyone has attempted to get a tech data sheet for this shocker as it seems to be a common fault ? I would of thought that monroe or someone would of copied it by now as its a 9 years + old part

That has been a point of much debate,but no firm conclusion has been reached. ;D
Therein lies the problem. An old car,whcih wasnt sold in its miilions when in production. Very much doubt that it would be cost effective for them to bother producing them.

I agree there however Im in no doubt that the same shocker will be in production for other vehicles otherwise it would be a lot more expencive to buy from a vauxhall dealer. A technical data sheet on it would be a help to find a manufacture and help others on the site

The retail price is quite dear ;)

GM would go to suppliers stating a spec. Suppliers would likely design and make to spec ;).

Now, Merc/AMG, I happen to know go to suppliers and ask what would work on their cars ::)
