If you're in North Wales there are several Vauxhall main agents not too far - Wrexham, Oswestry, Shrewsbury (Greenhous are good), Telford. The one in Chester (and Ellesmere Port) is Lookers - they charge Chester/Cheshire prices and my daughter has had poor service from them in the past, however, they sourced my Omega for me at a better price than any of the others. Hope that that helps.

Look through posts on here - OOf recomend WIM - altho I've used others that have access to correct equipment.  Most Vx dealers don't ;)

2nd hand TREs. *sigh*.  2nd hand is just a tad daft IMHO.
Still better off getting good used genuine ones over pattern  ::)

Got it from OSP "Omega Spare Parts" the whole thing about £20 delivered, VX around £60.

Been for a run today car drives fine even with the steering wheel out of line slightly. Will most likely use front tracking alignment services locally at a tyre place or ATS.
