Hi Herbie! Welcome to the site.

Please would you be kind enough to update your profile to confirm your car details which will allow us to confirm correctly...

Facelift/Prefacelift model? Engine Size/Type? Estate/Saloon?

The guys on hear will nearly always recommend genuine parts but I believe self levelling shocks are available aftermarket from one of the big motorfactors. IIRC they are around £140 ea. from dealer  :o about half that aftermarket.

There is always the option of doing away with the self levelling system also.

If you live by someone with a Trade Card you can get a pair of genuine ones for about £145 :y

Vauxhall dealer will be able to order for you and as mentioned £145 for genuine parts with a tradeclub card which I would say is quite reasonable. See if you can spot a senior member on here that is local to you (location on left of post), and blag a favour if you don't have a card  :y

Hello, if You dont care about self leveling, You can replace to standard shock absorbers-and remove fuse or relase from self leveling system. I found this:

There are a few members in London with access to Tradeclub to get you the genuine ones for under £150 the pair...
