i bought myself aVT r8 hsv clubsport just recently ya know the one Holdens Special Vehicles and so far had to almost rebuild the dam thing yeah im pretty peeved but
seems theyre not so special anymore been told ya should always buy parts for them New not second had so on just having to rebuild the whole air cond system couldnt get the Main Compressor hose for air cond was apparently out of stock and on bak order yeah for the last 3 months then im phoned up by holden and told it would be made by april so been waiting on getting this main hose that does the gas system
Only to be phoned up yesterday and told hey sorry but were not making them anymore WTF .. so now this holden special vehicle has to have second hand parts put in and im told that holden is starting to do this with a lot of their parts. so much for the Holden Special Vehicle

dude, you can't expect all the parts to be readily available as soon as you want them, the car is over 10 years old now..

Hi, I don't know if many people are aware but GMH and some other manufacturers in Oz regard any vehicle 10 years old or more as obsolete. No new parts are manufactured for them and when old stock runs out the only option available is aftermarket parts, if available, HSV may be able to provide some older parts but I doubt it as they are GMH. Some hoses could be available from from NZ Hoses and other firms like them. Lights etc are available in abundance from Asian manufacturers among others. Old Auto Rubber company is good for door rubbers/body seals etc plus body sections. The list goes on.

Hey im fully understanding that cars after 1o years are getting old but they still have air conditioning
so what happens now to any more cars that get faulty air cons... ? they dont have air con anymore?
i guess they will like myself have to rely on the good ole wrecker and hope that the one they buy isnt on its way out 2
thanks anyways guys,

Dude, as has been pointed out, you cant expect every single part for a 10 year old car to be available right here right now. Every model that comes out has different hoses in different shapes etc. They cant make them all forever. And if your set on having new and not used then just find a non-genuine one. Im sure repco or somewhere has a listing for it

Lols - you have bought a old car. They are well and truly in the lotto catagory. If your lucky there will be virtually nothing wrong with it. If you aren't get ready to be constantly reaching for the back pocket. If it's a SI VT then chances are many parts will becoming n/a.

Thats holden for you. Why would you want to buy from holden anyway. Go repco as mentioned before. Get the hose made up its not that hard.
Just get out there and do some riniging around you.
And who told you a HSV is specail.
