Put in it because of a bad clicking noise when i brake and i knew of a burst in the cv boot and that was it.
I have just recieved a call from them saying that it needs:
CV Boot
Drop link
Handbrake cable
Two new rear shocks
Worst of it is that none of this is covered in the warrenty beacuse i have eibach springs fitted and its gona cost around £320.

If the car is void of warranty theres no point in getting ripped of for crap customer service at vauxhall, somewhere else will do it a lot cheaper.

surely you can do the shocks and handbrake cable yourself and you'd be a fool to get the work done at vauxhall imo
