reuse it as long as it doesn`t snap

Yes pal I’m going to be gentle with her I just priced it up at my local Vauxhall dealer and they £80.80 which I think is a little rich! Would you recommend heating up slightly I’m going to get on it tomorrow see how it goes

I've had my V-band off a few times now. I always find the best way to get it off if it's stuck is to loosen it, then give it a gentle tap with a long screwdriver and a hammer. It will soon come off.

No need for heat / lubricant.

As long as it's not warped you can reuse.

No mate it’s not been wrapped I’m going to have a go tomorrow anything else I need to know the rest looks straight forward to assemble

Sometimes you can't tell until you have the clamp off and can see the lips which lock the 2 pieces together.

Other things to look out for I'd say the tightness of the lambda sensors in the old exhaust. Can sometimes be a pain.

Ah that's a bonus. It's quite a ballache getting to the bank 2 connector though.
