Difficulty finding spares

[David Harper-Jones]

Can any other Omega owners recommend ways to find spares that Vauxhall no longer stock? Right now I need a driver's door latch, but there are other parts that I need a little less urgently. I have tried eBay, of course: today there is only one door latch available, and it's from a LHD car; a month ago, there were four, but all LHD.

Today I have also been trying breakers' yards - and not just in my area - but with no success. One breaker even told me that if an Omega came in, it would go straight to the crusher because there is little demand for parts. Maybe we should argue that there is some demand!

Seems such a waste of vehicle parts that are now impossible to source

Not entirely sure what the answer is to build up a stock of parts, old Vauxhall garages may have parts lying around that they would be keen to get rid of
