All done apart from passenger side front as the nut holding the top mount on is stuck badly, even my dad couldn't move it and we know how dads can normally undo anything so hes taking it to work tomorrow to get it off. 
 
Was so easy its untrue, can't believe it. If I didn't have to wait to get a breaker bar and the drop neck spanner to do the job properly I could have done the job in an hour. 
 
Also, Vauxhall have stopped stocking ALL the suspension nuts and bolts for the Nova, which is good

No I'm not useless, I know exactly why I thought this job was harder than it is. 
 
Me and a friend fitted my suspension to my Punto GT, the trouble with that was because it was Italian turd ALL the bolts rounded off and we had to angle grind the front shocks off, that put me off for life.

The spanner I had worked on the drivers side, just hasn't got enough grip for the passenger side.
