Some automotive factor websites list specific manufacturer and models of aftermarket parts. You can then cross reference all of these makes with catalogued models on their own websites, or from competitor motorfactor and then perhaps buy the items through cheaper means (e-Bay?). For me, https://www.caerphillycarparts.co.uk/ was good for listing the available specific make and model of specific aftermarket parts which I could look at elsewhere or find their cross reference to perhaps even cheaper item. Other website such as eurocarparts do not give information about specifics of the replacement item other than their own internal reference which is useless for you.
I recently did the above as one of my springs broke on the car, and I had all the cross referencing correct for to buy a replacement part on e-Bay for less than the motorfactors only for them to cancel my order and tell me I had ordered the incorrect part for my registration and linked me to a different item they were selling. The part I was ordering WAS correct but the part advised was completely incorrect (for an automatic model). So ordered through same cross referencing of parts to a different e-Bay seller. I have fitted the spring already (will buy and fit the other side when I can afford/have time to) and it was a fine match.
I'm not sure I would specifically focus on wire size and height etc. As different manufacturers may use different thickness but different spring rate too. So long as (typically this is advised) you replace both sides with the same manufacture of replacement then the balance of the universe is natural again. Just find out what replacement manufactures are available, and look at their catalogues on-line to find the right model for your car. ____________________ CBT: 12/06/10, Theory: 22/09/10, Module 1: 09/11/10, Module 2: 19/01/11

Fair enough but be warned product numbers are usually specific to that company, A Vauxhall part number may help more.
What about these Quinton Hazel ones on Ebay for £57 a pair?
it says they will fit a 2004
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234987845590?
I see lots of Agila parts on ebay, I'd be browsing there rather
than traipsing around local shops
slightly off topic I spose but
I see that the Vauxhall Agila and Suzuki Splash are essentially the same car
which reminds me of my VW1.9TD engined Galaxy ____________________ bikers smell of wee |

Theres the original Agila, think small van with windows in, very practical and beloved of the aged. This is the same as the Suzuki Wagon R. Then Vauxhall in a masterful display of marketing mayhem cancelled it and produced the Agila B, think pokey (not in a good way) little car with no practicality and too much better performing competition. The B is the same as the Splash. |
