djgarfield1972 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hi everyone! I have just purchased a STS and I am very happy with the car, I am having problems finding parts and service items and wondered if there was a list somewhere of parts that its compatable with? Being GM a lot of the parts may well be shared with other UK GM cars (ie omega's etc) that i can easily get in the UK but of course do not know what these are to get from UK motor factors and breakers! also where and who is the cheapest and best in the south or for service mail order? Are the hub pattens compatable with GM 5 stud pattens and what are the size/off sets? i think my tyres are also the wrong size, do you know what it should have (has standard chrome alloy wheels) Thanks everyone for your help, i'm learning about these cars as best and quickly as i can so i can justify keeping her and running semi reasonably! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how or where that information is included on export vehicles. Welcome to this forum. There are other UK members here that will have better information than I can provide.

Regards, Warren There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
