nice. it betta to get the propa ones cos the cheaper ones have a crappy valve on em and tend to drain due to lack of pressure when the car not running.

:lol: hate too shock you all but guess who makes the genuine vauxhall filters certainly not vauxhall but a specialist filter manufacturer like cooper or baldwin etc etc then rebadged?painted with nice vauxhall logo :shock:

yea...and? it aint gonna be crap stuff. Shell makes the oil, and coopers supply all the filtration stuff. Bosch do the electronics and ignition, and FAI do all the bolts.

p.s. i get GM oil filters for about £1.20 each! :) i got 20 litres of GM 10w/40 and 7 filters for £45 :D
