Default My first Blazer!

Hi, I have just bought a 2000 Blazer (UK spec, right hand drive). It has 80,000 miles on the clock but runs beautifully. Has full service history too & has had only 1 previous owner. I have rented Blazers on 2 occasions when travelling to the USA but this is the 1st one I have actually owned, so far i'm very pleased with it! If there are any other brits on here with UK spec vehicles i'd be glad to hear any advice such as the best places for parts etc. I understand that GM no longer support these vehicles in the UK? Is this true? Correct me if i'm wrong. I can get service items such as filters, plugs etc easily but would appreciate any advice on any other parts sources should I ever need them.

Welcome from Auckland, New Zealand.

As foxxie says: we need pics. Be interesting to see how UK Blazers compare to our Jap Blazers. One difference I believe is you have self levelling headlights. I'd like to know how that feature works.

welcome to the forum. as for part's support, you will get raped on the shipping, but may end up having to use the ol' net to get stuff shipped in.

There have been a few Blazer owner's from the UK on here. Most have former GSA/Military vehicles sold on the civillian market through the based there. I dont recall seeing more than one other RHD UK ride, and I dont remember the name. It hass been a bit

There are a few righty's down New Zealand way, and a few floating around Africa (South Africa to be specific). Hope you get some answers though
