fking on line stty car spares locating companies are ste!!

I'm selling my Audi and it needs a new rear wheel ABS sensor. I managed to find one online with a 'locate your part' company on Tuesday. They said that they'd try and get it to me for yesterday but would confirm I'd have it for today.
I just rang them to say it hadn't been delivered yet, only to be told that the part they had was found to be faulty and they had cancelled the order!!!! THANKS FOR TELLING ME!! rolleyes

Similar feelings. A certain courier company - who will remain nameless but who's name would suggest they have a logistics network capable of joining together towns as though the distances between them were insignificant, or "linking cities" if you will - managed to load the exhaust I'd just taken off my car into one of their vans only for it to magically not be on the van when it arrived at its destination.
The intention was that chap down south would fit my exhaust to his car and he would then send his back up to me for use on my car (is a volume thing, mine was waaaaaay too loud). That is obviously now not happening. Twunts.

Try RockAuto I know they are US based but they stock parts for most cars, things like ABS sensors etc should be the same on a US or UK Audi I would imagine.

The good thing about rockauto is that if you go for fast shipping you get to pay the taxes up front so when it lands in the UK you don't get stung with the taxes plus a handling fee (normally more than the tax on small items rage).

Just a thought mind smile
