Hi guys well my hubby fit the new leads today and although it ticks over nicely once under load it still mis fires :( He noticed that one of the old leads had brown stains on the end like it had been in contact with water? Anyhow taking the advice from here it seems like the next step would have to be a dis pack.My hubby rang Vauxhall and he said there is 2 to choose from and he would have to take the old one off to see which one we had!!!! And with trade it would be £150 !!!!
Now please tell me we can buy an aftermarket one?

Yep indeed you can. Should no way be that expensive.

Are you sure they are plugged in the right order on the DIS pack?

Which one you require depends on oval or rectangular plug which is directed on the end nearest the center.  You can find out by removing the scuttle and having a peek.

I have an unused rectangular connector dis here but most miggies are oval :y

Aftermarket is fine, but go for a known brand like Bosch :y

Ours is one where the connector is on the top not at the side looking at a parts place it shows an oval one for our cars registration.

I'd stick to Bosch... Sure they're available on eGay for about £60

Have a look at this and its guaranteed for 12 months.

Found a Bosch one for £80 ish posted thanks  :y

a couple of things here....

there are three alternative DIS packs, the first with a rectangular connector on the side, second with a rounded-off connector on the side and the third with a rounded-off connector on the end.

Vauxhall, GM, Opel are all Bosch DIS packs.

don't trust anything aftermarket. I have, as an example, just changed a "new" aftermarket pack which has failed after 6 weeks

Ooh thats not good >:(  we have decided to go for a Bosch one  ;) approx £90 delivered from ebay my hubby is going to remove ours today and double check the serial number before we purchase it.Its funny we went to a local parts place yesterday and he was trying to sell us an aftermarket one for £80 we said we had been advised to buy a Bosch one and he said well they are all the same they could even be made in the same factory ;D never have liked the staff at that place very arrogant.
