anyone, can you tell where i could order parts online from the UK, they seems to be cheapest there. i need parts such as wiper blades, roofrack covers and so on. Also comment on their reliability and speed of service.

Wiperblades get from ebay, Bosch flatblades. Roof rack covers get from either autovaux or twells vauxhall which a few guys have used on the forum

I have used vaux-world and never had a problem and micksgarage.com. Also they should be knocking the 20% VAT off too.

When you've placed the order let them know you are a member here, they email me to verify it. So make sure you use the same email address ;)

My parts were GM parts so there are no specific discount shown on invoice. Compared to GM parts in Australia they are somewhere one quarter or less.

Autovaux is good. I got 4x roofrack covers from them as they were missing when I bought the car. Cost me $110 shipped from UK. Got quoted $280 from Holden here. The covers are actually small pieces of plastic. Nevertheless cheaper from UK.
If you can't find something on their site just email them and they will sort you out.

Basically you only nee stuff from 3 different places in the UK.

Courteney sport
AutoVaux
Regal

The discount on Autovaux is 5% it applies to your account as soon as it is confirmed with opelaus, i think poita does this.

depending what you need, there are a few places in Australia that stock parts at quite reasonable prices, precision international does genuine gaskets at comparable prices to the UK, got a VRS Gasket kit, and a set of head bolts for $230

Autovaux, again I can vouch for. God knows how much I've spent with those guys. I've never bought anything from Regal or Courtenays (yet, lol). LMF Vauxhall (aka Vauxhall Parts UK on eBay) are OK, but watch their freight costs.

Vauxhall World Parts is one I'd watch out for. Went to buy an intake snorkel from these guys, went through and paid for everything, only to get told that underquoted for freight and I'd have to pay an extra 20-30GBP for freight. I took a full refund, but I don't take too well to false advertising and extortionist tactics. Ended up buying said snorkel from Autovaux for about half the price.

Also, anything from Arden Performance, avoid like the plague. The guy promised me a loom that after 6 or 7 weeks couldn't deliver on, had to go through PayPal to get my money back. Again, I sourced a loom from elsewhere and modified it myself, courtesy of Warren G's (of WG Motorworks) guide.

LMF's postage is outrageous at best. I avoid based on that alone..
