Judging from the price it might be a fiddly job. But of course this may not be the fault in this instance. It may also be worth a chat to Vauxcare by Cammell Lairds (screwfix) who are an independent Vauxhall repairers, they may have come across it before and be able to give a reliable quote.

There was a contribution to the replacement cost from Vauxhall but it still cost me near �180 Snod 5 Precepts of Buddhism seem appropriate. Refrain from taking life.
