You guys are right. Not wanting to strip it for a slave cylinder so will just replace all  :y

How much are they, Davie? I've never done an omega clutch (watched one be done). Normally a new one comes with the clutch kit for things like fords etc  :-\

LUK kits are either rep set: friction plate/pressure plate, or rep set pro: friction plate/pressure plate/slave cylinder (including release bearing). So the price difference is misleading. You can only buy the release bearing as a separate component from Vauxhall, and I cannot fathom why LUK won't supply it with the basic kit :-\

Don't change the slave, you could potentially be fitting a part of unknown quality compared to the OE item which is known to be bullet proof.

Do change the release bearing which clips into the slave cylinder end (most base clutch kits come with this but if not, it can be bought separately)

Cant find a release bearing anywhere. Only concentric slave, plate and pressure plate. Can find a release bearing for older cars. Sorry  :-[

Try Vauxhall :y Charles Warner in Lincoln might be a good place to start...

As I said earlier, pattern slaves include the bearing, but they won't sell them separately ::)
