is it a good idea to buy the bits off ebay or are you likely to get snide copy stuff?

Get genuine parts. I found my 2.0DTi Astra preferred genuine filters compared to elcheapo Fram jobbies. The oil stayed cleaner longer with the genuine filters. My local dealer would do good discount even without tradeclub card if I was buying a service kit. They now give me trade prices as I'm in there so often.

Think it was just over £30 for the filters and the oil (you need 5.5litres of 10W40), and took me about an hour to DIY.

stock servicing items are relatively cheap you should be able to get all your filters for £35-40 all in, also buy your oil from vauxhall

sorry gues another question...what should i put in the system to clean the injectors and flush the engine? normal engine flush do the trick or has any one got experience of a better product?

For the oil change you'll need T45 torx bit (sump nut) & a 36mm socket to get to to the oil filter
