Danny87 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hi Lenny, I'd be interested to know if it's any good and if it comes in handy because I am thinking about getting the same thing. It's always handy to make sure you are buying the right part if you're going on eBay for example, and the majority of times there's a part number listed - so at least you won't be in any doubt. Isn't it what the actual main dealers use? I ask because when I bought some paint from the main dealer he typed my registration number in and everything came up, it was really interesting :D I'm still waiting for my misty jets! Hopefully today :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 You could have saved yourself a few bob there... johnH had a copy of this he was dishing out for free And yes, its basically the system that Ford use to identify the parts for your car, so you put in the reg, and it gives you a breakdown of each part and the cost / location etc etc...

jeebowhite Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I get you Lenny, lol. nice reference I might add! Plus I agree, however I would love to see the day you go to your dealer, and he starts looking on his PC... All of a sudden you whip out your laptop and start doing the same thing, and show them what they need to look for ;) lol that would be amusing...
