Now over 10 years have gone by since the last Omega left the line Vx/GM no longer have to have parts available and what they do will become increasing expensive!

i.e. Door solenoids before the "10 year" break, £30, now £90 each!

If you still want genuine parts as I do, then the TC discounts really come into their own!

Unless EMD can get a TC card for 99p, he's not really interested.

However, I'd clean the filter, and if it is shagged, chat to JPAT.

How will i know if the filters not reusable 

If:
a) it won't clean or has excessive metallic debris in
b) the filter bit is split or otherwise damaged

Personally, I'd call JPAT (and mention OOF), and if a replacement is only a few quid, get one.  Up to you then if you reuse old one and sell new one on...  ...but at least you'll have one if you can't clean

Yep will give them a call tomorrow an see what the prices are , always handy to have another parts option

Yeah i rang several motor factors an none sold the filter although a few did sell the gaskets , i think this is where vx have got you and price these parts high  Im yet to get to the filter to see if it does need changing , but its going to be handy to replace there an then if i do . I can see why most folk just clean them but £160 for a filter is way over the top .

I rang Vauxhall for an auto transmission filter and gasket set . For the truck .

Yes sir thats £14 for the gasket ... ok

Let me see , thats £162 for the filter 

So after a look around ive managed to get all the same original gm parts from America for ........... £26  and thats both gaskets included 

I cant believe vx can get away with these prices .

We use Milner Off Road for new spare parts.   

A lot of the 4x4 automatic transmission filters are around £26 + vat from them.
They do mostly Japanese bits but they may be able to help you, especially if yours is related to the Isuzu. 
Bought loads of new bits from them, wheel bearings, UJ's, diesel fuel pump parts, filters etc. Always been very helpful so worth checking them first, and their prices take some beating.

So parts arrived today from USA , most pleased with the service and communication from the parts supplier  As long as you order in advance then waiting wont be an issue 

Thumbs up to ctpowertrain usa

I think you'll have fun fitting a filter in a FWD Vectra Auto box as the box has to be split, might be another reason we never sell any
