    Parts deopt over by the NCT centre. 051 856 566. They are very reasonable and a fraction of the main dealer prices usually.

    If you want cheap and are ok with second hand, mcbride as above or paschal power in glenmore..... Both great places to get stuff

    Otherwise i would also say parts depot, have gotten plenty of them in past, very good to deal with

    I get them sometimes from www.irishautoparts.ie - based in Tallaght. Work out cheaper than auto factor anyway!

    McBride has an email address if you Google it. I've emailed them and they will let you know if they have it and how much.

    Depending on the year don't forget the Sharan is the same car as the Seat Alhambra and the Early Ford Galaxy

    scanlon motor factors? 051-873685. The lads are very helpful in there and know their stuff.
    There is also the place up opposite the hypermarket in morgan street, I can't remember the name


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51 ✭✭Dreddfan


    done both of them thx


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 755 ✭✭✭natnifnolnacs


    another option is gsfcarparts.com. I've used them before and they can be good value, but sometimes the parts being cheaper means the quality is as well. Have a quick google and check out the manufacturers.

    Dont forget most places dont allow you to buy your own parts and bring it to them. you may get back alley motors who do but the only problem is what do you do if you get a part thats second hand and fails in 6 months? If you go to a garage you normally get 6 months minimum cover on new parts, I think it might even be a year, If that part fails in that time you can go back and by right you should have the part swapped out free of charge.
