    Does anyone know where i can get a new set of engine covers for my vz alloytec 190 from? And how much would a set be roughly worth?

    Why don't you pick up the phone, punch in some numbers, and find out tomorrow?

    Hell, had you done that at 4:28pm today instead of making this thread, you would have had all your answers in under 2 minutes, as opposed to waiting for a few hours for a reply here and there...

    Hell, had you have made your self useful and picked up the phone at 4:28pm and punched in some numbers for me, then you could have provided me with some useful information (depending on your intelligence).
    What you clearly didn't understand was, obtaining a pair of engine covers was not a priority of mine, due to the fact they serve hardly any purpose, hence the reason why i posted a thread instead of dropping everything and calling 100 places.

    You need not call 100 places, just one: Your closest Holden dealership.

    In the time it took you to come here, and post your thread, you could quite easily have made that one phone call and would have had all your answers. Obviously, as you say, it was not a priority, thus you didn't need to drop everything to find out. Yet you still had the spare time to browse the forums? That spare time could have been used much more effectively.

    You question my intelligence, yet you seem to lack basic logic. Well done.

    Had you made that information available in the first post perhaps you wouldn't have got the replies you did.

    By the way, I called them myself out of curiosity and asked how much they are for a set. It took more time to write this reply than it did for the bloke to look up the part numbers and give me a price.
