Title: local vauxhall dealer has a 2.5 3.0 centre exhaust and back box
Post by: addy on 11 June 2021, 11:51:58
Rang my local Vauxhall Dealer in Darlington today, to order some bolts. As we were chatting, he said that they had 2 centre boxes and back box for a 2.5, 3.0 Estate in stock.  I said I would let everyone know, incase someone is looking for one.

The company is Drive Vauxhall Darlington. 01325 637265. The person to ask for is Frank in Parts Department.

Hope this is of use to someone.

They are quite helpfull in parts. Most vauxhall places I have rung, the phone goes silent when mentioning Omega.  I am looking for the small bolt that holds Camshaft sensor, on Mags 2ltr, I have some in the shed ;D. Last time I changed Camsensor, I dropped the bolt never to find it again.

I think I have a jar of Omega bolts somewhere and will have a look at the weekend if you still need one.  :y

Surely it's just a standard M6 bolt that you can get anywhere?

I think I have the size of the bolt, but not sure of the thread pitch if fine or course.

М6x12 TORX

М6x12 TORX


If it doesn't state the pitch then it's coarse. Which is 1mm for an M6 thread.


I wouldn't be too bothered about using a Torx head either; if there's room for a tool then a normal hex head will be fine. If not, swap to an Allen screw
