Manifold studs?

Going to renew all mine while heads are off after advice from James.

Is it genuine only or will somewhere on ebay (such as Trechii) be ok?

Bought all of mine direct from VX-was about £20inc vat

Great thanks

Great thanks

Not saying that is best....but it was easy for me...

[ScottieMV6]

Understood but if they are only £20 from Vx not worth bothering to go anywhere else

i bought 10 new studs and bolts just before christmas from vauxhall and they were about £11 all in (copper ones with torx head)

[ScottieMV6]

The ones that came off were not copper (AFAIK) and they were studs with a nut so definitely didn't have a torx head?? :-? :-? :-?

I think mine were £1.78 each inc vat-copper ones with torx heads-but I have no discounts....almost £20 

[ScottieMV6]

So have the old stud and nut been replaced by copper with torx head?

In any case I have asked andyc to give me a price and i will have him send me some!

I will dig out the invoice and advise exact price. I did use an abs card

Just dug out my invoice for mine which were from Vauxhall main dealer, without discount:
10x £0.78
£7.80
£1.17 vat
£8.97 total 

I remember now-the heatshield bolts were £1.78ea+vat, so I did not buy those-dealer said only came in 10s 

Hope this helps

Thats great. So this shows it doesn't cost as much as you thought to keep your omega in good nick
PS I was able to buy heatshield bolts singly so I am surprised they said they only come in 10's. I think i have one at home that you can have or advise how many you need and i can post you them.

The originals will not be copper and will not have a torx head. Vauxhall superceeded them with the copper type because it does not expand as much when subjected to heat (or so i'm told) and the torx head just helps when tightening up.

Interesting-mine had identical torx head bolts to take out-3 were snapped off.  Guessing it had been a problem before and these were not the factory ones then?
