Perfect example is the VF Commodore series 2 front parts, half of it is not available in Australia at all, with no ETA when it will be available, we are repairing some pretty munted front bars at the moment, and not just ours, we are fixing them for RAC for other contracted repairers.

We are constantly waiting for suspension parts for cars here, its like the dealers just stock lights and wiperblades.
Have to laugh, I made comment elsewhere about how GM shafted dealers and customers who had bought later model Holden's by abandoning the Australian market and the tough tits attitude to spare parts going forward. It was suggested you could easily get service and spare parts from Holden "dealers" (service agents). And yet, your post supports my view.
