Where to buy parts - Omega suspension bolts

[TEKNOPUG]

Hi, change the rear shock absorbers on my '96 3.0 Omega and one of the lower bolts sheared when I retightened it (no great surprise). Is there anywhere online that I can order some new ones? Obviously can't drive to a dealers whilst the car is in bits.

Thanks,

Andrew

Another for AutoVaux. Have used them numerous times for the VX220 and they have always been really good.

As said above, call them as their website doesn't list an awful lot of stuff.

OK - ordered them from a VX dealer. However, what arrived was not the right set of bolts. They were thumping great 14mm wishbone bolts with no nuts. Double checked the computer and it quotes 11098701 as the product code. This was on the bag. So they have ordered me another set and are just hoping that the wrong bolts got bagged up. Can anyone shed any light on the product code - is it correct?

Cheers,

Andrew

my experience with vauxhall main dealers over parts is don't do it. The number of parts I have ordered which looked okay on the screen turned out to be completely wrong.

Another one I needed 6 new flywheel bolts so why the hell do they come in packs of 5 so I have to buy 2 packs at £18 only not to use £7.20 worth. grrr.

Autovaux all the way!

The dealers have so far ordered in half a dozen bolts and none of them fit! At a bit of a loss now. The bolt that came off has an M14 shaft of 60mm that tapers to an M12 thread of 30mm. It's possible that they are the correct bolts (although they do fit obviously) as it's an ex-Plod car. The quest continues I suppose - will just need to call around auto/bolt shops in London.

I'll try Autovaux if I get nowhere this weekend
