 | i bet vauxhall can get hold of the bearings, ffs if warren g of WG Motorworx can get them im sure a marginally bigger company like vauxhall can, but i reckon they choose to say they cant because they make more money from doing a swap out for a new/recon box, and as lee said if its warranty work its probably cheaper still
 
 either way its still wrong imo

 | Of course they can get the parts. If you know the size and spec of them you can drop into a bearing supplier and they ought to be able to get hold of them for you or even stock them, it's obviously a case of car dealerships sprouting shite and Vauxhall owners thinking they drive supercars with highly bespoke gearboxes.

 Kwik fit fucked up the rebuild and now they have offered him 2 free services and have sacked the guy who ruined the box, who im being told was an apprentice. They cant replace the box though.

 | They just said their trained staff were more than capable to do it within a tight time scale hence why it was done / attempted today.
