Cheers Andy...
If anyone's got a part no (and rough price from a dealer) it'd be appreciated too :up:

AutoVaux - £21.95 part code APEC20

I'd go for that tbh, theyre about £30 from dealer, and second hand ones are usually starting to go too, as i found out last year

Nice one mate.... and that'll fit the 1.8 C18XE?

And...... does the Autovaux price include VAT and delivery?

Yeah that'll fit the 18XE

However its not inclusive of vat and delivery, i think delivery is cheap though

Nice one Mark.... if you can confirm that you have one and that it's a goodun, we'l arrange to pop over :Cool2:

Are they easy to fit? Kirsty's going to be doing this on her own, so wants to know if it's a pig of a job.

Not the easiest.
Engine needs to be supported underneath, theres 2 mount to subframe nuts, then 3 bolts from the mount bracket into the gearbox bell housing. Also the linkage is part of the mount bracket so would need disconnecting at the pinch bolt and U joint. You could save time removing the linkage and bracket if you can get access to the 2 rear mount to braket screws but this is usually impossible

Not sorted yet matey, no...
And we're not gonna get the chance to get over to Marks place any time soon either (having to replace front discs and calipers this week now :shame: )..

How old is it matey? Is it proper good nick?
Sorry to have to ask, but I don't want to be watching Kirsty replace it again in a few months (if you catch my drift ;) )

If you give me a few minutes mate i'll go grab it and check it out properly for you.
It is from my 94 1.8 astra sport(80.000m) i just put an xe in it a few days ago so i used the mounts that came with the engine.
Back in a mo:Cool2:
