And about £175

If fitting standard ones, make sure you change the springs too

Cured the central locking gremlins on Mother in Laws Skoda by bailing out the water and giving the (no longer submerged) wiring a good douse of WD40

Got brand new diff with LSD, old one clonks so badly. Still waiting for eccentric poly bushes to be fitted to rear trailing arms so cambers can be adjusted. Will fit diff and bushes at the same time and then to MOT

Sry, I don't understand what you are saying 

Got it from opel-classicparts.de:

General Motors started in 2002 to think about outsourcing the worldwide spare parts supply for vehicles of the brand OPEL, which have not been produced for more than 12 years, as far as possible to an external service provider.

From the beginning HEISTER-GROUP participated in the worldwide call for tenders with great interest.
Due to our long-standing cooperation with the brand OPEL and the experience grown in dealing with customers at home and abroad, we considered ourselves a qualified applicant for the project of ADAM OPEL AG.
It should last until the beginning of 2004 to receive a final decision.

Their location Trier in the heart of Europe, the very good infrastructure of Germany, their experience with the brand OPEL, and their employees rnthusiasm for the brand OPEL are some of the convincing arguments for GENERAL MOTORS and the ADAM OPEL AG to select HEISTER-GROUP as partners.

We are very proud to be allowed to guarantee the world-wide spare parts supply of OPEL`s original spare parts for ADAM OPEL AG and regard the confidence they and also our clients had and have in us as a meed for our work in the past and at the same time as a challenge for the future.

Swapped out the 2 rear shocks on the mum bus.

Nice cheap easy job, £45 the pair, and under an hours work.

Not sure why I bothered though...others still return to their old position, one side took 7 minutes, the other 10, plenty of life left!

Rears will be dealer only being an Elite...

Why?

[Nick W]

Rears will be dealer only being an Elite...

Why?

They are self-levelling, and were only ever available from GM. This makes them a lot more expensive to buy, although it's still only a few minutes per side to fit them. I hadn't spotted your car is an Elite.

I think the rear springs were replaced in 2014 by VX. Will have to check the file.

What he means is - if you replace the self levelling shocks with standard (non-levelling) shocks then you also need to replace the relatively soft self levelling spec springs with standard spec springs or ride and handling will suffer.

Just for sake of disambiguation
