Look on eBay for Vauxhall Vectra or Opel Vectra.

+1 Holden are a disgraceful ripoff for this sort of thing.

There are also some online U.K based stores that ship this sort of stuff internationally. I used one a while ago and found it to be excellent, the name escapes me at the moment though. If you do a search of my user name and vectra or opel you may find where I have passed it on in past. It was something like vectraworld.

Thanks guys. I will have to go and get some measurements as i may be confused at what bushes are needed. According to holden the part number is 90496700, but when i Google it the measurements are 52mm L x 45mm OD x 12mm ID. I think the ones i need are smaller than that. I also see on ebay the whole set of 4 trailing arm bushes and two rose bushes which sounds correct so that's why i am confused. I will be back today. I have three weeks to sort this.
same part number i am ordering parts from them end of next week if need them

That's the place I have used in past! They were great to deal with and pricing including freight was very good. Parts were on my doorstep in just over a week.

BTW, I have an exhaust manifold gasket for the 2.0 engine I can list here on TM if you ever need one, likewise a cam cover gasket. Not sure which Vectra you have but the 2.0 is notorious for breaking exhaust studs, I suggest you take the time to remove and replace them all before they snap off and become a big drama to sort. Hence my having a spare gasket on hand for them.

Back again. Took the wheel off, removed the bolt from the top bush and measured. The dimensions above are correct, so am now confident i have the correct part number. @treachugi would be glad to take them off your hands. What price are you asking for them including delivery!

Nah, seriously you got a bargain there, thats a damm cheap price from petermcg. Goes to show not always best buying from overseas (even though I do as well)
