do anybody else find that vx dealers no longer stock any parts for a mig. a company in wakefield called H.S Components Co., apparently bought ex gm stock. iv,e used them twice now & on both occasions they,ve had it on the shelf.. this time i asked for a wiper stalk with cruise control for a 2.5td. now dealers & the well known ebay shops all said they could,nt get the deisel stalk. :) :y

Hs components is more commonly known as autovaux of Wakefield. :y
also theres a thing called gps part search,i think is a search for obsolete/hard to source gm parts..
andy c would know more about gps search.

TBH, a lot of it is down to lazy parts staff... Andyc will give an honest answer and, if it's out there, he'll find it.

Autovaux are not a vauxhall dealer.
In fact Autovaux are not trusted among some members here.
-
Autovaux are a bunch of useless, lying 'tards. I will never use them again. In fact, if they went tits up, I'd hold a party.
Never had any issues with my dealer, except a delay if parts have to be shipped from Europe.

See. ;D
Dealers are legally obliged to support any model for 10years after production, I am fairly cirtain.
Although that's for Main components. Things like door cards have been unavailable for years.

My local dealer told me that the HBV was no longer available until I gave them the part number and they had one on the self,'tards :-X

Must've been comfy & couldn't be arsed to look on EPC >:(
Although one lad at my local Vx parts dept is a grumpy bugger, there's never a problem getting stuff. :y

Manufacturers, not dealers. Dealers are a retailer, and they have every right to tell you to FO if they can't be bothered.
Obviously, too many complaints to the manufacturers head office will result in a chat with said dealer.

I'l; say at this point, Sherwoods at Stockton-on-Tees are brilliant - the parts guys anyway, and the technicians are friendly. The rest of the staff are utterly useless though.

I'm sure they only have to supply parts for upto 7 years after the end of production - a lot of parts are carried on to the next model though (ok no omega C)

I seem to remember that GPS are somehow linked to Autovaux. Although it can take a long time to get answers/bits from Autovaux, I have had no problems personnaly.
