Mail order genuine Ford parts?

[Fastdruid]

My cruise control cable has given up the ghost, its hardly the end of the world, a <£30 part yet of the two Ford dealers I can get to without taking time off or require a massive journey to get to (I won't name them but lets call them BS and AF) both insist that I *have* to come in to order it as they cannot take payment over the phone and wont order it without payment.

So seeing as I'll have to take two trips does anyone have a suggestion for mail order genuine Ford parts as postage is likely to cost me less than the trips to the dealers?

Ford parts in the UK? How about www.fordpartsuk.com ?

[Fastdruid]

Its crazy but it just might work!

[Magic919]

Worked for me. Bought a rear view mirror and some wheel bits. They sell bits that are not listed too.

[Fastdruid]

They don't list it. I've fired off a parts request though so we'll see what happens.

[Magic919]

Try Hendy Parts too.

Also asked. If need be I can get someone to go to the dealers and pay/order first but I'd rather send the business elsewhere.

I've used fordpartsuk quite a few times now, they're usually very quick at getting back to you if you give them the right details. Quite quick at getting parts shipped out as well.

Give graham at car parts direct a call he will sort it for you no problem & will probably be cheaper than fords price to
