Where are you looking for parts? Autovaux is excellent for genuine (and non genuine) parts: http://www.autovaux.co.uk
Genuine part search (sister company to Autovaux) is also excellent, with heavily discounted prices on genuine stock (although you'll need a part number): http://www.genuinepartsearch.co.uk

Give Keiron at Autovaux a call on 01924 376003. Tell him I (Dan) sent you. The company's website doesn't include their stock list, just a few 'special offers'.

Brilliant mate thank you........are any of the vauxhall magazines a good place for parts induction kit and 4 branch will be next

Of course, I'm biased, but Performance Vauxhall magazine is only £19.99 per year to have each and every issue of the mag delivered direct to your door. Daft not to at that price.

Hi Davey

I've just rebuilt mine with all gen parts. You'll likely need the little ball joint plastic sockets as a start. I'd first though try aligning the gearstick and gearbox before anything else. Basically there is a little alignment hole in the gearstick under the boot where you put a drill bit or similar, then at gbox end there is a little plug you pull out and put a drill bit in to lock the box in centere. Obiously if they are not aligned then sleection will be a nightmare and then secondly something must have kicked the alignment out, which needs to be identified, either wear or loose clamp/pinch bolt for gear lever rod at bulkhead.

If you need a list of part numbers I should still have them kicking about, if you are a 1.8 late model that is
