Need a full set of standard rings, to try and sort out the smokin' astra!
VX want near on £300 a set, which seems steep. Seen them on ebay for £80 which is more like it - but, they only have them for the X16XE an not the Z16XE which I have.
A member here sent me a link to an ebay auction for some, but they've now gone and no more in stock.
Local parts place - can't get them
Autovaux - need to make some calls
Does anyone know a good reliable supplier of rings?
Astra is using 1litre/100 miles, so it really, really needs looking at ;D ;D

Just managed to get a Genuine VX set of std size piston rings for £72 + £10 postage :-X :-X ::)
Seems like a result to me.... that's from autovaux. They have now redeemed themselves! :y
Edit to add - thanks for all who supplied info :)
Looks like next weekend I'm taking pistons out :-/

Thanks for the support mate.
I've never done them before, but end of the day, there's nothing to lose - it's clapped anyway :y
