£6O? Did they guarantee they are originals? That seems very cheap.

Baz, saying vauxhall sold 3 leads for £100 (fronts or rears) i.e. £200 for the full set.

Well if Autovaux can do 6 original leads for £60 I'd take their arm off.

Make sure you check they are OE before purchasing, Autovaux do stock a lot of non OE items

Let us know Baz, i will be shocked if they are genuine OEM.
If they are not, I wouldn't have them.

Right guys after a few phone calls to autovaux apparently the original leads have been pulled the plug by Vauxhall , cant remember what the OE ones were called but as they are no longer available they have gone the genuine bosch route for between £50-60 delivered for a V6.I myself couldn’t not justify spending £170 on a lead set when i know ive had my v6 for 3 years nearly and they have lasted well . is right about if you go to Vauxhall they will charge you £100 for a set of 3 for the v6.

So when its time to replace i know what im gonna go for ...
