Hi People

second post since joining, my first post was to say ello.

So where do you guys get your parts from ??? is there any know good stockists for the early Berlingo ???

when I can, I preferer new old stock (or in other words, original parts) 

at the moment I only need a lambda Co2 censor, where would I start looking for one plz???

Lately, eBay.

Lots of stuff via "parts in motion" for service parts - clutch, seals, cambelt, etc.
"carousel" for oils

And various other parts found via searching for the part number and sorting by price.

I got my front discs/pads from Autodoc.
They were the cheapest around and a wide choice of bargain basement through to top notch gear but took Six Weeks to arrive from Germany.

Others have horror stories about them.

There's also a few clone sites with different logo but the same street address.
Bit of a gamble post brexit.

It's rear wheel bearings/discs/ pads/ calipers for me next so I think I'll play safe and go with one of the many local parts factors even if I have to cough up a bit more cash for my trouble.

As above I buy from Autodoc due to being able to source OEM brands. I use the app and wait till the discount is 41% (seems to be the highest it goes).

I'm rebuilding an XC90 and have spent £2000+ on parts for it, no import duties or charges. Delivery is always consistent at 1 1/2weeks. When there have been a problem (Evri and a mislabeled component error from Lemforder) customer service had been great.

If you leave the £3.99 box ticked per order then you can return parts FOC for any reason.

Eurocarparts /Gsf etc don't come closer to availability and pricing.


However you do need to know who is OEM (Lemforder, Corteco, Elring, GKN Lobro, etc etc) as there a wide range of manufactures available.

The other downside is they use Evri for the UK side delivery - they are the worst courier ever, they will leave your parcel in a puddle in plain view with half of its contents missing.

I like partsinmotion. I use them a lot on German stuff and their accuracy is brilliant. My experience is they're not so hot on French stuff (no hassle at all with returns, but if I need a part, I need it now rather than after the first return). I just use my local Parkers https://www.thepartspeople.co.uk/#branches or the scrap yard.
