Not sure what the answer is other than leaving the bar off and possibly fitting gas struts somehow. Appears to be an exclusive issue.

Torsion bar looks right but that’s exactly what mine was doing, and it had the original hinges. I wondered if my hinge had gotten bent possibly on the spare at some point. Which would mean you could have unfortunately fitted a slightly bent one.

Thanks hoobby I’ll wait and see how heavy my boot lid is once the spoilers refitted. I removed mine as it was lifting the front left corner of the boot, I put this down to the exclusive spoiler having been replaced with the lighter smaller spoiler.

Hi I also moved my oil pressure sensor to the front and didn’t notice a difference with the reading. So may be something else going on. Herman changed the pipes on his injectors and it didn’t look that difficult. If for some reason you don’t want to go through the whole post it’s on page 8

I just used a Clevis pin a bit long but easy to remove if I need to. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clevis-Pins-M4-4mm-M5-5mm-Dia-Stainless-Steel-R-Clips-Washers-10mm-to-50mm-x2-/323993236762?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

Plenty of different cable lengths and ends available on eBay and probably elsewhere online if you know what you need. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Battery-Cable-Battery-Lead-Earth-Lead-Various-Lengths-Ends-Terminals-/363056490922?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

Was going to link to one on eBay till I realised the photo is the same

Difficult to get a clear shot. They look like there all over the place but roughly square. On cars I’ve seen the gaps between the spoiler and side pieces vary wildly. So if you left space for some wedge shaped shims you could adjust for a better fit.

I have tried to show the fittings as best as I can, hope this helps.

I’m at work at the moment but have mine off. If no ones posted when I get home I’ll take some photos later.

Good luck with this as I tried to re-fit one of mine I while ago and gave up in the end. Maybe easier with the hinge off and fitting the torsion bar then manipulating the hinge into position. I look forward to the solution.

This ones been on eBay for a while, fixings are broken but could be bonded on if your struggling to find one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Opel-Manta-B-Coupe-Boot-Spoiler-Irmscher-/274816192719?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286 Ive got one buried in the garage somewhere with the same issue.

Will leave it disconnected then, my headlights used to have a faint glow when sidelights were on so that was probably due to this then. Never liked the look of that. The part number brings some up on eBay, not sure it’s a buzzer though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-NOVA-Astra-HEADLIGHT-RELAY-WARNING-BUZZER-TRANSFORMER-GM-90274651-/233859230516?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286
