Well...the deal is done, and the new car is presently residing beside the tin tent near Wareham. I am well pleased at the moment. Do miss the sunroof, though, but aircon fine. Got a six months warrenty ::) that covers aircon compressor too. Drives well. It did get an advisory on the MOT yesterday that the front lower wishbone rubbers had deteriorated but there was no play in either.
Are these the ones that we put polybushes in ?. Something for a later date. Got all the service history up to Dec 2014. Previous owner paid out a lot of dosh as soon as Vauxhall service report pointed to anything. Way over the top imo. the belt change was £434. Does that seem a lot ???

I'll pop some pics up in the gallery soon :y

Hmmm, could be either, but you should be able to identify which, once jacked up. Poly's go in the fronts, and the rears tend to go, and then you can get new OE pressed in. It sounds as though you may have OE 'bones still, so don't be tempted to fit aftermarket, better to fit poly's and new rear bushes to the existing if required.:y

FFS...relating this thread to swmbo and response is...'At least Carole has her own car'
