    remember with the ones you've bought, its a ball joint at both ends so your gonna have to drill a hole for both ends....the omega ones have a bracket built in so its only a couple of small holes for a nut and bolt.
    you might have been better going to a local scrappies and picking up one strut from a preface Vectra, coz the facelift doesn't have the strut.

    theres a good how2 on here which will guide you.

    I will have a look at the how2 then aswell just for a bit more info. Im awaiting word back from seller anyways then if there is no ball joints etc.. il probably cancel the order and go for the omega ones

    My laddie done his today, but he got his from a zafira.
    Apparently, there's a small bracket on they ones which made fitting a lot easier.

    And you only need one, as the facelift bonnet is a lot lighter than the preface one.

    See that looks well now anything is an upgrade from the standard lever. Hopefully the ones I ordered are straight foward and come with some sort of fitting brackets then.
