Skoda parts online?

Hi, I need brake and suspension parts for a '04 Skoda Octavia estate, what sites should I be looking at? My local factor is probably as good as Mick's Garage, but cheaper would be better. Parts may cost more than the car's value, but we have no funds to buy something a few years younger. Besides, herself is very fond of the old bus, we replaced the clutch fairly recently with a single mass, and the tyres are new. The sea air has corroded the calipers to the point that they can't be bled to find the source of an extremely spongy brake pedal, and rear disks and pads are needed. All quite unexpected, to be honest. Thanks for any ideas. :eek:

What parts exactly? You should be able to find parts on ebay, mickgarage or various UK sites. But shipping can be a factor.
Disks, pads and calipers you should be able to get from a factors.

Start by getting part numbers from dealer, and maybe a quote too.

Try the dealers too they aren't as expensive as you'd think. Try a company called Otto they have a good choice between price and brand.

The bleed nipples are corroded into the calipers, the first lad who looked was afraid of snapping them while loosening them to bleed. I've just spoken to a local Polish guy who will take a look Monday, he spoke of maybe drilling them out. Then perhaps a master cylinder or a brake regulator. Hmmm, prices on Mister Auto.ie seem fairly reasonable, we'll see what Monday brings. I must not forget the t-belt.

It shouldn't be a problem drilling it out and tapping it IF it even snaps
