Kind of Luton, yes. Not strictly Vauxhall anymore. I've been there. Was a bit shit tbh, loads of old stuff new in the cabinets in the waiting area though.

And there is no 'browsing' opportunity. So there isn't much like in finding Irmy bits they don't know about.
£250 for an X10XE engine strikes me as quite a lot too

Yeah, I almost went there a couple of weeks back but went to another one instead.
Looking on that site at the time, I did think they were abit pricey.
A 3.0 V6 cheaper than a 12v engine

B H Salvage on Kensworth Industrial Estate.
They had quite a few Corsa B's in, mostly 1.4 8v's.
