Am I right that recalls are done at no cost to the customer.

Still pretty bad shit that!!! Fooook!!

I think we need a Recall info topic with all recall info made a sticky!

Any more info would be great.

best checking with the vauxhall dealer with newer 1.8SRi's. They may have done the fix to new ones which are still in the showroom, but there might be 1 or 2 which slips through

hold on-weak valve springs causing valves to snap. if valves snapped u get valves stem seals and springs. all others just to get springs
