    Partfinder maybe?

    Partfinder.ie

    To be honest I find actually going to scrap yards a lot easier. A lot of scrap yards aren't online as they would have a fairly high turn over of cars and it's a lot of work to catalogue car parts and then discover they aren't usable.

    I was looking for a CAT for my 2000 focus last week. You'd think they'd be easy to get considering the amount of fords on the road. I must have rang every scrap yard and none of them had one.

    Luckily Kilcock had a focus that had just been brought in :cool:

    What are you looking for?

    I find ebay.co.uk great.

    Just enter "breaking" and the car name into ebay.co.uk search box and message the seller to see if he still has it as the seller is obviously not going to list every part in the car they are breaking.

    Ive bought a good few items this way and they are always cheaper than here and always come with a no quibble warranty (usually 3 months) and give full VAT receipts etc, but shipping may be a bit expensive if its too big. Medium weight items with parcel motel (but has size limitations), or if its heavy (engine etc) use TPN (the pallet network) or similar
