Hi I am going giving the engine a service and was wondering what are best products for: Will get a GM oil filter , aternator belt and timing belt.

Oil?
Spark plugs?
HT Leads?
Coolant?
Does anyone use any engine flush or something similiar?

If you would do anything else please let me know.

Thanks, Chris

Vauxhall oil is cheap, Use that IMO.

Don't use engine flush.

Timing belt, Gates one, Prob be £20 cheaper but its who make GM ones.

Vauxhall trade all is cheap nasty crap.. Carlube. or valvoline is much better!
I always flush my engines and have never had a problem... I use Mahle filters as there good too
