Service Parts Cost

[extralarge]

Do you guys know where to get cheap parts for servicing, i.e. getting parts at cost price or thereabouts?

Holden sells drain plug seals at $2.15 each, whereas they could easily include it in the price of an oil filter ($15.50).

Have those who done the 60,000km service changed their tensioner and engine toothed belt on the 1.8? Its a costly job and shouldn't need to be done so soon.

Also, whats the Roller RTN 52.5 (09240033) and Roller RETU (09128739), as required in the 120,000km service?

Thanks,

I did my 60,000K service 1 month ago and according to the book, the belts don't need changing till 120K... so it wasn't change. all the dealers I called for quotes assumed that it needed changing and asked me to refer to the "book" . it would've gocost $800 otherwise.
