Title: Used spares?
Post by: mc9 on 05 January 2010, 11:53:46

Anyone know a good source for used Vauxhall spares -- looking for a LH 2.5TD headlamp near Luton (VauxhallSpares has closed down and my other local supplier doesn't have one).

Cheers

Milehams (Katherine Drive in Dunstable) sold me some new Depo headlights for £50 each a few years ago.

Not quite as well made as the genuine article but they worked well and were still fine when the car was scrapped last year.

Failing that read through the for sale section.

Milehams -- didn't think of that, thanks Andy H.

Yes mantahatch, that's the one that closed down last year. Was a great place to get parts. New regs meant that they were reclassified as waste processors with all the attendant equipment and regulatory expense apparently.

So had to close -- stupid government.
