More than welcome Mr Emd. With some more digging, I suspect I could find some BERU leads for a Vectra, at (presumably) a cheaper price than Omega... Will let you know should I find any
Actually, that's a thought, I never actually rang my Sdealer to inquire about genuine GM-BERU Veccy HT leads prices vs Omega.
As I've said before on this forum, I'm very keen to analyse as scientifically feasible/practical the cost-effectiveness of various quality parts. eg:
-Idlers are pretty much a given, Brand New pattern having as much play as old worn GM ones.
-Wishbones - ATP seem to be getting good reviews, at a very reasonable price - and the re-bushing old GM wishbones also an option.
etc...
But I'd be interested how well these Bosch last (given recent quality downturn raised by The Boy) when we consider the BERU-GM ones last 100k+ - with these at about a third of the price, how shall they fare? (my 170k-er V6 has gone through two sets of BERUs in her life, plus the used freebie noname pattern ones which lasted a full 15 mins on the car, before I tore them off!)
