I will... but the discs and pads are gonna be about £300, the exhaust will be over £100 probably... the rest is all quite cheap I think!!

The Aircon shouldn't need a service as I only put a new Aircon rad on it at the beginning of the year!

Centre Section = over hundred as it's a coupe turbo and most places don't even list the exhaust for this car so will have to be special order

Tyre = £85-£135

Where the hell can you get 4 discs for a Astra Coupe Turbo for £100 from???

Chris :)

Didnt realise the exhaust was special. Forgot the tyres will be bigger on the astra sorry! I get trade prices, was just an estimate lol.

[Quick]

What sized rubber are you running?

David - Yeah they do good rates, but then I will have to pay to get them fitted to my wheels so kinda defeats the point IMO.

Have you looked on any of the astra forums for links for cheaper parts?

[Wayne]

thats going to cost a bit at least it will be fixed so you don't have to worry about anything.

[Crunkers]

Sorry to hear that mate, hopefully you can do some of it yourself and save yourself some money.

[Japman]

[Dan]

Would have thought you could get discs cheaper than that Chris.

Where from Mate???

Any help towards egtting parts cheaper would be great.

I've had a look on VBOC and Astraownersclub, and the discounts aren't that good really.

With regard to the exhaust, I'm not really looking for a performance thing to replace it, but if that is the only option then so be it. I have seen a Regal Motorsport sports replacement, but it wasn't for the Coupe Turbo.
