Yeah I think someone from CCUK went to Vauxhall for one and was quoted near £200 just for the backbox

Most parts are expensive for these as they are different to 1.4/1.2 etc. Mine needed a CV joint at one time, priced up a complete shaft instead, Vaux was £450 + VAT iirc. No where else did them at all, ended up getting a joint for £60
I have a brand new rear caliper for one here still that I didn't need.

ive got a genuine gm box that was removed after 40miles, i gave it a rub down and coat of silver paint to hopefully make it last longer once it was on the car, cost £160 and havent been able to sell it

thats why i painted mines with bilt hambers rust treatment and silver alunminum paint so that if it went back on it would maybe last slightly longer then the one fitted just now
