unofix Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Arnold Clark online store. Free delivery, takes 3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Alsop Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I've started buying mine from Vospers Parts online (South West England main dealer network). Comes by post in a couple of days usually. Previously I'd buy it from AE Motorsports eBay shop but they suddenly appear expensive these days.

jsk Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I ordered some front door scuff plates for my Fiesta from Vospers 48 hr delivery. Five days later from dispatch I am still waiting. I suppose they could have sent them Royal Mail who have been on strike. See what happens next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do live about 20 miles from where they ship their parcels so maybe that's why they've always been quick for me. Both my recent deliveries did come by Royal Mail including some Ecoboost oil two weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Royal Mail strikes and early Xmas posters are probably to blame. Took 3 days for them to deliver a 'guaranteed next day special' to me this week, so I can't imagine much normal post was delivered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Royal Mail guaranteed next day delivery is not guaranteed. A more accurate description of the contract is- we will make an effort to deliver it next Day but if we dont, we will refund the delivery charge. I bet most people don’t pursue Royal Mail for the refund though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet most people don’t pursue Royal Mail for the refund though. Indeed. I wish eBay sellers wouldn't use it as the only option. To this day I've never lost a standard parcel at this property, yet the majority of the 'guaranteed special delivery' ones get returned to the depot as I can't answer the door in time. I try to actively avoid any seller using that service now, but for small, semi-valuable items it's hard to avoid. I also can't work out whether the refund still applies during strike action? It seems that the seller (sender) would have to make the claim, so it's not really worth the hassle for the recipient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance you could post a photo of the scuff plates when you get them? I’ve not seen official Ford items for the MK8 on eBay so if you have a good experience it would be great if you could share a link too.

It does NOT matter what brand you use as long as it MEETS or EXCEEDS Ford specs for oil in this vehicle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 The E seems to be for 'EcoBoost'. I'd assume there have been some some tweaks to the detergents to reduce wetbelt degradation and possibly a reduction in ash residue now that everything's fitted with a GPF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
