unregistered Cali needs engine mounts and p/steer pump

[pilgart3]

Hey.. I've just bought a '96 cali and there's not much it needs for a RWC but Can't seem to find parts. Does anyone know a reliable importer from Vauxhall- the ones I've tried emailing so far can't help me. Apparantly, GMH don't make the engine mounts I need anymore, and the wreckers I'v tried on hotline in Vic (geelong and Melbourne) seem to only have the 4 cylinder...

v6 2.5 auto x25xe : rear engine mount from the Gearbox to the cross memeber
and the front, right hand engine mount needed for road worthy

also, a leaking powersteering pump, is there new one's available?
a re-built one from Pedders will cost over $500.

thanks if ANYONE has any leads! it's inspiring to see all the enthusiasts on this forum:)

Hey Mate

Last i checked

As sooty has said, if you cant get them locally (or dont want to part with a kidney) then Autovaux from the UK is the best bet

gee thanks for the tips. will google that and check out Springvale too. cheers.

It's best to call autovaux (they're in the UK) but you can also email them. They're genuine (and some none genuine) parts at rates much much cheaper than you can get new locally

was encouraged to see some v6 Calibras at Imlach- though the rear engine mounts were no good:( havn't had a reply from autovaux yet, but got the phone number from another post on the forums so I should probably follow your advice Sooty and call

thanks Poita. Got hold of Autovaux on the phone but they don't make the rear engine mounts anymore (same as in Australia) He gave me the part number to chase up : 90473137
the only thing I can think of if I can't chase one up is to try and get someone to make one out of rubber but that's probably really expensive?

[poita]

it probably wont help, but its the same mount for a Vectra A

Got my car Registered about a week ago. So good to have it on the road! just wanna say thanks to Poita, Sooty and Nuggz for the great advice. Got the parts from www.leadercomponents.com (http://www.leadercomponents.com/) and Autovaux as suggested. Great Customer service/postage time etc.

I have dealt with Kieron from autovaux and he's top bloke to deal with. I bought a lot of parts off him and everything arrived on time

[pilgart3]

was a guy called Craig at the moment at Autovaux (who was filling in for someone called Mick Groves who is sick apparently)- but I dealt with Craig for a couple of weeks and he was a great bloke as well! all my stuff came pretty quick
