I must be spoilt, my local GSF is 2 minutes away. I could almost walk it but, why would you want too?

The alternative is, of course, Euro Car Parts which have branches all over as well as doind a mail order. They can be found at - wwww.eurocarparts.com

Think about us over here when you talk about where the local branch is willya?
I have found a good source of parts now which is as close to GSF prices as I've found out here, but................................it's about 1800 klms away from me, so freight costs send the prices up a bit, but still no worse than the order from GSF I once did that cost close to $300 in freight!

My previous parts supplier who I still use, is closer to 2500 klms away, so it pays to order the correct part the first time.

Alan,

If any of us ran Holdens, then we'd be on the receiving end! Some of us (me included) run cars from manufacturers who don't even exist now, so I know your plight with trying to find bits easily...

Knowing they are available, but on the other side of the world must be just as frustrating...I do sympathise!

May I chip in and suggest the French motor parts factor in Bradford, Wida on Rutland Street?

Not sure if they do mail order, but they are good and often beat GSF and Eurocarparts on price.
