In the USA for Mazda's you can literally go on your local Mazda website, and buy/browse for any genuine OEM part for very cheap and delivered within days.

In the UK however, nothing like that exists and sourcing genuine parts yourself is impossible without going through the tedious process of emailing Mazda and chasing it up.

How come in the USA it's so much easier to get ahold of genuine parts than it is here? I have found in the past that Mazda won't even give out OE part numbers. I do however have a parts catalogue website which is based in the middle east so I can cross reference when looking for parts

Thankfully there are some sellers on eBay who can get genuine parts but they tend to be quite expensive as obviously they want to make a profit
