Where can I buy spare parts after 1pm Sunday?
Discussion
I need a VAG ignition coil tomorrow after 1pm, does anyone know a shop or motor factor within reach High Wycombe? CarSpares in Cheshunt have them but close at 1pm, Halfords and Europarts can't get one until Tuesday. I guess the VW dealers' spares depts are all closed on Sundays? Somewhere in London, perhaps?

Autopartz is near Morrisons in High Wycombe and I think they're open on Sundays. Their number is 01494 530333.
Sunday till 3pm, thanks. "Any part for any car"... sounds hopeful.Turn7 said:
Dont know if they'll be able to help, but Apsley car spares near Hemel have always been good for me - but that does sound a tricky part for a Sunday.
I think I remember going there in the 80's when I lived in Watford, open till 6pm, thanks I'll give them a try too.-Pete- said:

hey used to cut them to length and flare the ends, I don't remember the name of the chain-smoker who owned the place 1/3rd of a century ago? Al?
Indeed. I remember rushing over there one Sunday pm mid rear axle change on a Mk3 Cortina for a new copper brake pipe.About 1984 IIRC.
Autopartz in Wycombe were great, and really good price. Unfortunately I discovered that 2 coil packs are playing up, obviously 10 minutes after they closed 
Midnights had a non-brand coil but more expensive and I couldn't be bothered to drive there. She'll have to survive without the car tomorrow. But I hate the fact I didn't get it fixed. However we're now sitting in what's left of Wycombe A&E as my 8 year old is burning up, so the car's out of my mind.
Back to Autopartz tomorrow, thanks for your help.

Make sure that you keep a wary eye on the cock-up potential with regard to your child. Sit there and mug up on sepsis symptoms - nurses often miss them. This is a million times more important than any car. Good Luck!Midnights had a non-brand coil but more expensive and I couldn't be bothered to drive there.

Another coil pack from Autopartz and a little OBD work has fixed the misfire & cleared the emission warning, I'd recommend them to PH-ers in Bucks Berks & beyond. Stoke Mandeville is a whole different kettle of fish but fortunately she's home (I think they were short of beds) so end of thread. It's a shame 100,000 people around Wycombe don't have A&E, a children's ward or a proper maternity unit.
Thanks for the help, I thought PH was full of people arguing, not helping each other?

Glad hear she's okay! A family member of mine was in Stoke with a serious infection a little while ago and they sorted her very effectively and quickly. She was in a positive pressure isolation room while they dealt with her - most impressed and not at all like the local wisdom would have you believe. Parking is a nightmare though; at Wcombe you can at least park in the street outside for 50p for an hour by the old gas works.Thanks for the help, I thought PH was full of people arguing, not helping each other?
