Been getting a few prices for bits for my c20let just as a rough idea of what price ill be looking to pay for bits and pieces and as a comparsion....
so i gave my mate whos a parts guy at vauxhalls and with his vauxhall discount hydraulic lifter were £250.00
but on autovaux there £150.00 
What i wanted to know is are autovaux genuine vauxhall parts just sold alot cheaper or am i getting shit parts.... as cambelt kit and few other bits are the same price give or take a few £
cheers

autovaux do do aftermarket bits aswell, but most of their stuff is genuine, just make sure you say you want genuine....

oh okay just didnt want to skimp out for the cheaper option on non-genuine vaux bits if i was going to expect shit quality. But looks as if vauxhall parts where just having a laugh on there prices as usual
cheers guys will get some parts through autovaux

And they can sometimes get parts that vauxhall deem "dis-continued" too

I got a set of cam gaskets from Autovaux for the V6 once... They said they were genuine (manufactured by the same maker as the genuine GM ones)
They were shit tbh, and definately not as good quality as the GM ones. Lasted 2 weeks before leaking...
Other stuff from there isn't bad though...

I phoned autovaux a few months back about some GM lifters, they don't supply genuine GM lifters. They also couldn't gaurentee me that the lifters wouldn't tap. I would just buy GM lifters, least you know your getting the real McCoy.
