my name is Steve,
I live in Ladock in Cornwall and after having trouble getting spares thought that I'd better try somewhere that is dedicated to Vauxhall cavaliers.
Recently I had trouble getting a set of ignition leads for my car, they came in a set of 4, there was no lead from the coil to the distibutor cap.
I contacted a company in Bodmin called "Fast Track" that makes up sets of leads, using your old leads as a template / pattern, when I went to pick them up the guy (Dave), told me that from his database and the leads I gave him that he had found out that my actual engine was from a Vauxhall Astra.
I had suspected it wasn't the original block as the engine number does not match that in the log book.
Hopefully this should help with future purchases, but unfortunately this will totally throw off suppliers when using their computers when I give them the registration number.
I remember when all that was required was the make, model and cc of the car, and they would look it up in the required book, depending on what part was required, most of the staff in these places now rely soley on the computer, and don't know how to help you if the computer tells them that it is the only part they can supply.
Well, bye for now, and if any of you live in Cornwall, it would be great to hear from you!
