Spare Parts supply

[Telegram Sam]

I was pleasantly surprised at the selection and availability and prices of Cavalier spares on

http://www.atcarparts.co.uk

I have not researched and tested them in detail and have only just placed my first order (oil) but unless anyone spots a downside I think the site (and others like it) could do with being publicised for the benefit of members desperate to track down that elusive part. But I dunno where to put it so have ended up here

I agree, we should have a thread just for reliable spare parts suppliers, it would save a lot of looking around for some members.

We do, it's a whole section dedicated to recommended/endorsed automotive retailers, but the key words you used are 'tested' and 'research', and it would be foolish of us to advertise a retailer without certainty that they can deliver the goods on a number of separate occasions. Keep us posted.

I thought that Recommended Automotive Services thread was specifically for garages, mechanics, electricians etc, not parts suppliers.

there is another one but the name escapes me right now, you will need to be armed with part numbers though on above site

edit this is the other one http://www.carpartsconnexion.com/vauxhall/default.asp

[Cavalier342]

Must be because i'm a newbie i'm having problems. I wanted to second the review for a new radiator for my sri from coolparts uk, for me, £29.50 next day delivery. Under radiators the subject is locked!
I'd recommend autopartswarehouse on ebay for totally refurbed brake calipers,£33.95 with £15 refund for old unit but i don't seem to be able to post as new listing. I've bought 2 calipers, with a 2 yr guarantee, over a year apart from here so i can verify quality & service.
Could you perhaps have recommended parts supplies under headings that aren't locked?

The non-Cav diesel oil I ordered from atcarparts (communications not brill but ask for Colin) arrived OK - 5 L for around £20 - and I seem to remember that they were offering 4 L GM 10W-40 at around £15 which to me is attractive. If there was a forum with a specific list of parts suppliers - say 1. tested / verified and 2. untested, yet to be proven - I'd consult it regularly. I started doing my own list including Opel Vectra people in Germany - but got the paperwork all muddled up.
