RIP OFF

[DAVE52]

How's this for a vauxhall RIP OFF wiper arm ,£160 EACH!! Not the blade just the arm.:-(

[BigNige]

Why did you need new ones?

[DAVE52]

Some-A-hole thought it would look better with only one!!

[phrich]

My missus is in Oz for a month and could bring one back if you can wait a month

[ringram]

I just bought 2 replacement blades and "hands", not the arm that bolts to the motor end. They were $15NZ or about 6pds each.
Mind you an alternator was 1400 $NZ from holden or 325 $NZ for a reco one!

If you are stuck and you feel Vauxhall not giving you a fair deal, you can always try an Aussie company that specializes in late model Holdens parts, they ship to the UK. www.jhp.com.au

damn sorry to hear that Dave52 - hope you caught the little beggar and gave him a right good hiding. Hope you've got better luck sourcing your part than I've had so far. Vauxhall cant give a delivery date yet for the replacement sill plate - not bad since I've only been waiting for it since the car went in for repair in December. Oh and I finally got a chance to clean car properly this weekend and have found serious problems with the paint job so I'm gonna have to go smack someone at the repair centre.

FYI

Vauxhall part no. 92057985 RH wiper arm asm = £16 + vat

Vauxhall part no. 92057986 LH wiper arm asm = £19 + vat

There appears to be a pricing error on the vauxhall pricing screen. If u use these part numbers instead of complete assemply including wiper and spoiler it will be those prices. Then just buy a new wiper seperately for norm few quid.

Is it the metal sill trims as u open the door that you are waiting for ? If so they have stock at Vauxhall for both LH and RH and the trim badges!!

Just trying to help u out Dave.

yeah Dave52 - will see you there. Caspy thanks for that update on the parts. Yes it is those particular bits I need - seems the Monaro dealer up here is even more useless than Jeff reckoned. I'll moan some at the repair shop about the delay when I'm in slapping them about for wrecking my wonderful paint job.
