If that is for genuine Vx ones that is an excellent price.

I would want confirmation they are genuine Vx though.  :)

Genuine - I hope so - I'll find out when they arrive

well if they're like the ones I bought from them a couple of months ago, they are NOT genuine Vx - OEM versions apparently. Had to send the first set of rear discs back as they were the wrong ones ... but a mate gave me a hand fitting them last weekend and both discs and pads fitted no problems. Cost me £134.30 inc. VAT & delivery for discs and pads, front and rear, to fit a 2.5 V6. Forgot to order wear sensors, which then cost me £18.83 (turned out that I only needed the one anyway!), so if I'd got one at the same time it would have been about £140 all in.

Have to admit I have got to do my brakes soon and have spoken to them a couple of times regards discs and pads, I would be interested to know if they are genuine Vx parts as I have brake shudder which has been on my list to do for a little while now.

Front discs with pads are 60+Vat trade club, so its not that great a deal.......plus you have to add postage to the autovaux prices which almost covers the VAT
Title: Re: Autovaux special offer
Post by: TheBoy on 17 July 2006, 11:55:28
I think they've gone up a little on TC, around £65 + VAT IIRC...
Title: Re: Autovaux special offer
Post by: Marks DTM Calib on 17 July 2006, 12:14:19
£66.42....

Was quoted about £132 ish for front and rear brakes for my car, I might be interested if they are genuine parts.

Not sure what sort of price Vx will charge.

Disc sizes are different on the 2.0 though whether that makes any difference.

Only pre 97, Post 97, they use same as v6.  Similar price on trade club

I dont know why but I was always under the impression the 2.0 used smaller discs cheers for the info.

As mine is 97P it should use the same then.

Measure them to be sure, as you are in the changeover period...

v6 ones are 296mm diameter, pre 97 2.0l are 10mm smaller...

Will do that, was one of the recommendations of autovaux when I last spoke to them.

When i ordered my front and rear pads whilst chatting to the woman in parts department i said i guess its best to fit genuine parts and she said ""Oh no we just buy pattern pads in...always have""......so thinking about it why did i bother buying from Vauxhall when i could have got pads half the price at local motor factors.???

Or am i missing something that obvious... :-/

(And you wonder why i dont work on my car  ;D)

The pattern parts front discs/pads I fitted to front of MV6 are just plain awful, hence I will only use genuine from now on...

Maybe a silly question...how can i check to see if these pads ive bought are genuine or not,would they be boxed with vauxhall markings.?

(there still boxed in the boot from when ive bought them  :-[)

The box will say GM on, and IIRC, the pads themselves have a gm stamp, or painted in white
