where would you all recommend buying spare parts from that wont cost the earth? is there better places than others

I've been making a fair few purchases lately, mostly through eBay with a couple of things from Amazon and scrap yards (see my post on this thread for more info: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/index.php?/topic/73340-Rear-Door-Measurements...)

It very much depends on what parts you need. I use a few different places including eurocarparts, carparts4less and a few local parts places and engineering supplies.

I work in Dingbro in Scotland and would recommend using there parts however there a bit pricey and you need to be trade . I wouldn't use Euro not only are they our rivals but some of the stuff use supply are rubbish . Dealer or Dingbro for me if you want a list of brands a'd happily help you but each to there own opinions i guess [emoji4]

The thing with euro car parts is they do sell good brands, you just need to know which ones to use and which to avoid.

I used to use parts from dingbro but got fed up of having to order them through my mate.
