Can you not ring the dealer, pay by card and get them to post them out?

Maybe worth asking Ebay to service or cover warranty work on cars also!!

You can already get that - it is at £0.99 - out of Hong Kong apparently...

got to admit it seems a bit daft that you cant order parts from normal dealers if you supply part numbers. i got full set of holden badges 4 years ago for the cav from a lookers garage, went to same garage recently to order more and got told no sorry we cant get them lol.

hell I'd to make an 100 mile round trip for my "local" dealer to fit the springs for the recall notice. I pointed out to Vauxhall customer services I had a dealer I've used for years with all my Vauxhalls less than 1 mile from my house and I was more than confident they could clip on 2 seat springs. End result - I had to take a day off work and make the trip through to the monaro dealer - who promptly told me I'd need to leave the car with them for the day despite me arranging to have it done on arrival. A few raised voices later I got the work done as agreed - in around 10mins!!
Basically Vauxhall are trying to do the right thing for their dealers that invested in becoming Monaro dealerships, protecting their market by limiting access to parts. We're fortunate that a couple of the dealers, such as Greens, are represented on here and try to work with the owners to help out whenever possible. Full marks to them, must try harder to Vauxhall.
