Arnold Clark's perhaps ? Hope you told them you are aware there is a TSB on this fault ? If the car is JUST out of warranty and has been serviced by them and that is the fault ,they should do it FOC .I used to manage a Vauxhall service dept and we were able to carry out an abnormal warranty claim under this type of situation , might be a different name now .Or repair FOC as a company gesture and submit the warranty claim.I would have done it under warranty going on the known facts but some can be a pain in the butt and refuse to budge , talk to them nice and it might work .If not and they want to charge you , tell them you are phoning VX customer services to complain .Best wishes .
