Vectra CDXi in Melbourne.

[Ascona]

Hi everyone
I just bought a MY 2005 Vectra CDXi with 65,000 kms. and am impressed with the amount of information in this forum. I've got a lot of reading to do! I'm sure the answers to many newbie questions are there.
In the meantime, my first task is to get a Roadworthy Certificate and rear brakes done.
Do any members have any suggestions for a good place to get my car looked after in Melbourne? North East, Greensborough area.
Thanks
Mark

nice one mate, a great car and there will be plenty of help for you here aswell.

as far as parts are concerned, generally the best thing is to do is get them from overseas but cross that hurdle when you get to it.

Brakes.....get them from "GSLrallysport" good prices and quality brakes.

Welcome to the site mate!

As said, pm gslrallysport for a good price on brakes. If you need anything else, just yell out ;)

Thanks for the advice and greetings, The car arrived off the truck from WA late last week. Rear pads & discs ordered from gslrallysport. Rego inspection booked for Friday, then I am in business. Of course I have a permit to drive it, but only for purposes of obtaining RWC. So I didn't take it for a spin as soon as it arrived on my favourite test track. Promise.

Welcome mate!

Can't believe you stole a Veccy GTS away from W.A :p

Cheers!
It was cheap to bring over, and not many around, as this forum probably knows. There is an almost identical one on Carsales now http://tiny.cc/yJqIg, but I only need one of them!

Welcome to OA dude! Congrats on the ride. Is it just me, or are Veccy C's now becoming a shyte load more popular around here?

Welcome mate. Gotta love the CDXi! I just had my 120k service done on my CDXi, plus new shocks and drop links. New aux belt and tensioner. All good. Saved a fortune buying the parts from the UK. Dan at LMFVauxhall really knows his stuff. No problem whatsoever.
