1.  VX
2.  VX
3.  VX
4.  VX

I'd never really trust any of those from anywhere other than VX tbh, so would rather pay the premium (even tho it would all be TC costs...)

Not sure how other folk have gone on though with pattern parts and such... But gaskets would be VX for me regardless!

In all fairness, I couldn't see postage from the UK being too much for those, so may be worth seeing if someone will order and deliver for you :)

Not sure he will have a local Vx dealer Paul.

Are there Opel dealers in your area?

Hence why I said about delivery from the UK shouldn't cost much, and see if someone would deliver for them (such as andyc perhaps (it is andyc isn't it??))

Vx is a Vauxhall dealer.

Loads in the UK (most towns) but I suspect not where you are.

Sorry Paul - missed that.

I would have thought Opel dealers would be able to source parts in areas where the Omega was sold.  Don't know if this applies in this case though.

Where does your sister live?
Try here www.vauxhall.co.uk  - get her to put her postcode in the yellow box top right and it should give you some dealers numbers local to her.

If you can pay by 'credit card' telephone Vauxhall Spares Centre, telephone number 00 44 1708 384720. Make sure you have the car details ie VIN number, engine number, as there are more than one 'crank sensor'. This is not a Vauxhall dealer but but sell parts for vauxhall's, also they are well versed in sending items buy post or carrier. give them a try and explain.

Not all !!!!, Example = wishbones at £55 per pair, not vauxhall but good quality, done 25k on a set and just passed MOT again. I would always suggest Vauxhall parts, some are available at discount on the TC list, others are just OTT from the 'stealerships'. So VSC offer a good product at a good price, there are also other companies.
P.S. I as in Motherwell yesterday and saw a nice MV6 on a car park by Laing O'Rooke, yours ?
