Spare Parts

[professorsabre]

Can someone confirm the truth of this statement, I was told that car manufacturers are obliged by law to have spare parts available for 10 years from the build date of the car. Is this true because I can't find it anywhere in writing. I'm not having a problem but my friend is, he's going to challenge Holden with this. he owns a 5yo Vectra and he was told that they can't get a coolant reservoir for it anymore and they would have to modify a current model reservoir. Seems dodgy to me, the cars only 5yo done 60k already has had major engine rebuild a few month ago and now radiator cracked and leaking. They're saying it's b/c of the rebuild.

Cheers.
