Local vaux parts dept will be able to order one in for you.

no the metal 1 thats pressed into side of head

As I posted, go to local vaux dealer and they will order a new one in, or try autovaux, they may do them.

Iv had these rust away on the past and are quite hard to get out of the head. I welded a big nut to one and wound it out. If u can't get then from vauxhall measure it up and there are equivalents on eBay.

Thanks for the help guys. If I can remove the old 1 is it simple to fit the new 1?

I usualy collapse the old one in with hammer + punch then with new one, bit of loctite and gently tap it in, it has a step so will only knock in so far anyway :D
