is there any quailty difference in using non GM parts.
Priced balljoints in the the local motor factors and there €18 each. Vauxhaul are lookin for €52 each
Surely they'd have to be made to a certain safety standard?

Just ordered the bits
2 brake cylinders and 2 balljoints €63(£40) Vauxhall wanted €52(£30) for 1 balljoint
thats is a bit silly mr vauxhaul.
i remember getting a speedo cable down at vauxhaul before and there was a chap buying 1 hoodcap for a mk5 astra and they charged him €40! yer man hadnt a clue and just payed it.

i got a rear brake cylinder about 3 years ago for my corsa, was a non-GM item. Never had any troubles with it.
Wheelbearings though, got them once (rear set) non-GM. Lasted 2 months. GM items lasted about 18 months!

ive always used pattern parts, vauxhall ones dont last any longer than pattern part ones no matter what people say, vauxhall just rip you off for them
