Any motor factor in the country could get what you need, without you having to do anything except pay. The bigger ones will probably manage it the same day.


I know that's not as much fun as spending hours on the internet arranging for a parcel discretely wrapped in brown paper to be deposited behind your bins under the cover of darkness by a masked stranger, but it does get the job done.

Surely you can find a scrapyard with one?

IIRC the Vectra B uses the same carrier and possibly the <02 Saab 9-3. Just be careful as both of these had a bigger brake option, although rare.

Right, I was struggling to get one and I still have what's left of my very old PFL estate on the side of the house and last but not least the wife giving me GBH of the earhole  :D I plucked up the courage to jack it up and have a gander  :y

Now the reason it is still there is 2 fold ...........

1/ It has a manual conversion fitted which has a r25 box with less then 100K on and a clutch which has only done 20K.
2/ It really REALLY pisses my next door off who openly declared over 20 years ago that she is going to drive me and the family out  ;D   Well those who know me well know that I will not be bullied by a gobshite  ;)

Anyway, back to the job in hand ...........  ::)

The car is on very soft ground and the only way you can get under it is to jack it up with the jack sat on paving stones which is very dodgy to say the least  :)

I managed to get it up high enough to get the wheel off.

Got the drivers door open to turn the steering wheel to lock so I can get at the bastid only to be met by a column with no steering wheel  >:(

Managed to get some mole grips on the shaft then bugger, the ignition lock is on  ::)
Plucks up the courage to ask the wife where the keys are to be told in no uncertain that some silly bastid threw them away last year  :-[ :-[

So, out comes the lump hammer, screwdriver, scaffolding pipe ect and 30 mins later its free  :y


Another 10 minutes playing with the impact gun and bobs your auntie, off it pops and ( still don't know how) but after pealing back the rubber, the slides just fell out  :y :y

A hour later playing with Mr Makita and a wire wheel which is now down to about 5mm of wire, its scrubbed up pretty well and after been blathered in Metallic Electric Blue paint, its hanging up in the greenhouse with the tomato's drying off before the rebuild  :y :y

And breath .............. 

Next question .......... I have no red grease left and no transport.

Will copper grease do instead for the sleaves ?

Copper grease works fine on the sliders, so it's probably good on your sleaves :)
