Have you tried main dealers? The last couple I bought were via NOW Vauxhall and not a bad turnaround given the back order status.

All done , its the same screen as a Monaro.
Local indie screen guy located and fitted one within 24hrs at less than half what Vauxhall wanted for one .

That is because they are - just a bit wider. Every Commodore from VB to VZ had a link back to an Opel design.

Many thanks for your knowledge.
Your next mission should you accept it .
He needs a new rear propshaft coupling as his is not in the best condition . He tells me it's an uprated version .
Was going to ring you tomorrow.

Not aware of an "uprated" one. Just standard. Standard should be fine. Run some pretty big powere through the stock one with no issues. The rubber mount just decays/fails after a few years.
