BTW people, I use a 'Trade Motor Factors' (ie they supply motor factors) for getting bits for the Vauxhalls, and will check them out for DeLorean service items too when I get a chance.
Recent prices that we've paid:
New Radiator for Corsa 1.5D - £50.02 inc VAT
New (QH) Thermostat for Corsa 1.5D - £5.67 inc VAT
Set of Head Bolts for Corsa 1.5D £12.34 inc VAT (these were nearly £50 inc VAT Trade from Vauxhall!)
I'm getting some bits for my Cavalier TD this week from them, so will enquire about service items for the De when I'm in there.

Tys,
Most of the consumables are readily available as cross reference parts - probably further down the index page of this forum, But if you need anything - we'd happily send you the parts.
I shouldn't think your engine would need much doing with it - as before we had the car, it'd had ~£8,000 worth of work done to it by the previous owner - and he'd only driven it a few miles before giving it over to us to sell.
If you are doing a full service on Hana,
Spark plugs
HT leads
Air filter
Oil Filter
Fuel Filter
Cover Gaskets (you have those)
Coolant change + antifreeze
Oil change
A/C Pully Bearings
Coil + lead (check - may be OK)
Just shout if you need any of these things!
Darren

Hiya,
there's a link to Autovaux on the VODC website, but obviously for me,
the one round the corner in Derby is a bit more convenient :wink:
Autovaux are supposed to be pretty good tho from what I've heard
