Title: Parts availability
Post by: razzo on 20 October 2018, 19:43:49
Just had the Omega given an advisory on steering idler & after a chat with the garage owner he tells me Vauxhall are no longer stocking parts for older cars as storing them in warehouses is no longer viable. Not a problem as I rebuilt it but wondered what other parts are no longer available as some pattern parts are absolute crap

So far my local Vx main dealer has always obtained whatever I wanted for my miggy, but at a price as per my recent aquisition of both front wishbones!!

Like other parts, these were brought in from Germany where there seems to be quite a stock of the parts we need.  No doubt as another year rolls on this will change :(

The tophat plenum seal is no longer available from official UK sources, nor are pattern parts available.  But can be sourced from further afield.
