Delco/Delphi rings a bell somewhere

Delco was just GM's parts brand, like Unipart/BL, Motorcraft/Ford, Mopar/Chrysler(US) etc etc. It doesn't necessarily mean the part was made by that company. That was often obvious when you opened your dealer supplied parts in their packaging to find a Timken roller bearing, Vandervell crank bearing, AE piston etc.


One of my friends insisted that he was going to only use genuine Mitsubishi service parts on his newly acquired Starion, that always entailed two trips to the local dealer in Bexleyheath. Which was a bit of a pain when you live in Chatham and work in Maidstone. We didn't take the piss much when he opened the genuine Mitsubishi boxes to find four NGK 'R' plugs that he could have got over the counter anywhere for a quarter of the price

I know I said that.  It came fitted with the brand new Carlton and at the time was considered an excellent Vx product that in our case certainly proved itself

The name on my GM battery is GM 

As you are my age you should remember the Delco products as well.  They were constantly being advertised on the tv at the time in the 1980’s

Careful Lizzie, age seems to be a touchy subject round here today!

Well it isn't going to be Delphi, is it? That's the capital of India.

It's definitely in Gillingham.

I thought a lot of (not sure on Battery) parts were branded Quinton Hazell from that era?

Thanks B52, that is interesting reading.

As it is a GM brand, no wonder you do not see them in Vauxhalls anymore.
