Exhaust manifold
« on: 26 December 2007, 20:18:17 »
Hi everyone, got my exhaust manifold changed two weeks ago and since i've changed it, i read on the forum that you should always use GM parts which i didnt, and sure enough its started blowing out again does anyone know if vaux-world on ebay does genuine parts or should i wait for my own vauxhall dealers to order it on the 2nd of jan cheers.

Good advice. Annual fee £15. Check with your local Vx dealer if they run Trade Club and buy genuine Vx parts for a lot less...

Eg Exhaust silencer and tail pipes 2.5 saloon to '99 - £120 Retail, £102 Normal Trade & £75 Trade Club :) + vat
