cav parts

[mini paul]

Hi all im new to the forum and was just wondering where you all got your everyday parts from for your cars?? I normally use the local trade parts (car spares) they can be a bit heavy on price,dont know of any local cav parts specialists so i have been looking on ebay for bits and bobs.Did brake a cav once and still have quite a few bits left in the shed lol,im from the westmidlands area brummie land some might say so any pointers for specialist suppliers would be a big help.

what are you looking at buying? it really depends.

I tend to buy odds and sods off ebay when they are cheap and store them, the other day i got 20 vauxhall oil filters for £22 delivered.

Yer i been checking ebay out past few days cus i needed a abs ring and all local shops dont sell them on there own i found,like most of you i store a few parts here and there but was just wondering if you know of any specialist suppliers for future referance as they tend to do the best prices for us.
thanks for your reply Gaz

Theres nobody specific tbh, ive got trade accounts all over the show, so ive not paid retail for years.

Sometimes its its the same price to buy a cv rather than just the ring. Theres a lower limit on how much stuff costs it can only get so cheap

[mini paul]

Ok cool and thanks,i also own a classic mini and know there are many specialist suppliers about so just wondered if there was also for the cav.

thanks

vauxhall is very under supplied for normal parts specialists, there are plenty of "tuning" plaices but nowhere really for service gear.

Ok mate thanks a lot for the help,by the way abs ring was £3.10 delivered now i can drive without abs keep cutting in lol

Paul, Autovaux are worth bookmarking as are Vauxhall Car Parts and Vauxhall Green Parts. As Gaz says it depends what you're after but a trade card or two helps massively
