The back-story is long and tedious, but suffice to say my non-PC literate father is looking for some parts for a long-out-production Ford and muggins has agreed to have a go at sorucing them for him 🙂
In the past, I have successfully used one of those websites where you upload a request for parts which is passed onto various breakers yards who then email you back if they have the part and how much..... but I can't for the life of me remember which one it was..... 😕
A quick google suggests there are quite a few offering this service - anyone care to recommend one/a few before I just start hitting the list at random (no doubt receiving varying levels of spam/unsolicited calls along the way...)?
breakeryard is as good as any.
What part is it that you are looking for?
Have a look on ebay, put[i] make model breaking[/i] in and see what comes up then phone or email them to see if they have what you are looking for.
Parts Gateway
+1 for Ebay
EBay or hire a local scally to "source" the parts.
Init.!
Breakeryard does seem to top the google list - might give'um a whirl.
It's a driveshaft for a 84 or 85 MkII Granada.....it's a long story 😉
Not too far from me and my dad used to use this company for parts for his MKII Escort;

They specialise in Capri parts but hold stock for most old fords.
