Disc and pad set is £100 from VX, don't bother with the factors for anything other than rear discs

And be sure to only fit vented discs to the rear

My local VX are useless most of the time i've got to explain what an Omega is. Plus i need them asap. But will give them a shout tomorrow.

[Mr.OmegaMan]

3.2 one certainly looks like that, but about twice what you need to pay for one

That's Vauxhall official eBay account as well..

Disc and pad set should be a stock item

Why sell stuff over the counter when you can stick it on ebay for twice the money

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Was tempted by these.. But I remembered a post about this some time ago weren't good apparently..

I don't know what's wrong with me i did ask VX for discs and pads just under £125 without VAT.

Tell them not to be so tight and sell them to you for the Trade Club price, and while they're at it what discount can they give you for anything else you might need

Trust me they will not budge on price and TC fat chance. I've bought things from these motor factors for years on many cars all parts have been top notch and quick service

Find a better dealer

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Find a better dealer

Tried pretty much all of them within 80miles all are tight and all useless,

 Just kids that have no idea what they're doing working in VX dealers now days (around here at least)

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Doesn't the 3.2 V6 hold around 6 litres of oil I believe when with a new oil filter 

Have got plenty of GM oil and will get a GM oil filter 

[tunnie]

5.5L on a V6 change, oil filter is a paper element and cannot be pre-filled.

So up to the full mark, start, wait minute or so, off, wait for it to settle, then top up accordingly

5.75 litres according to Mr Haynes for 2.5 & 3.0 engines 

[CaptainZok]

A full can then a Newky Brown bottle full was always just about right for my 2.5.

Thanks for that

Have got a Haynes manual hardly ever use it even when I had a PFL very poorly laid out and it's pretty useless for the FL models on the whole  ...

So it's around in between 5.5L - 5.75L but not 6L
