Parts dealers in the UK

[Curry-er]

Not really a technical question but,Anybody recommend a dealer in the UK that may be willing to post parts to France?
Reason being parts over here they're b****y expensive and as I'm not fluent in French difficult to get!
Many thanks.

See my post about jioning the RAC in the UK (continental cover). Don't tell them you live in France, just say you are on a long holiday.

posting from UK to continental europe is very expensive compared to shipping between Germany, Holland and France. Surprising what a little bit of water makes. What do you need? Parts in Germany are quite cheap, I check out e.bay alot and parts in Holland are'nt too expensive and am willing to help if I can.

I agree with Sportscott, parts prices in mainland Europe are usually cheaper than here. We lived in Amsterdam in the early 80's and the rams to 'open' the tailgate of our BMW 2002 Touring were £15.00 apiece in Holland & £75 apiece here in the u.k..... guess where we bought 'em...?
If push comes to shove & you get them from here I can get them couriered over for delivery 2nd day, (because you are out in the sticks).
Depends on the weight as to exactly how much but less than £20 for up to about 3 kilo's. ( I retail France as £15.00 for the first half kilo then £1.75 per half kilo)

Dont get Me thinking of curries and take-aways,haven't had a proper curry for ages!!!!!

[powerbear]

have a frogs leg

[sportscott]

Tell me about it, have'nt been in UK for 15 years. Just as well you can get Pataks curry paste over here to make your own but just don't get the takeaway punch up

[FredTransit]

Wierd how curry never caught on in France, the best I have managed to get in Paris is chinese/Thai curry, which is all very nice but not quite the same.

[sportscott]

India the jewel in our Soveriegns Crown. You need to come to Holland to taste really rotten Chinese/Thai food all sweet and sugary made special for the dutch pallet....

[FredTransit]

Mind you, I went to Hong Kong some years agao (nearly China) and was shocked how bland the food there is!

A new exhaust cost me £208 in hollan recently. It was going to be more but I tutted!
That was fitted, not including downpipe. I'd imagine a similar price here at Kwik Fart or somewhere.

[sportscott]

pretty stiff price, Kwik sh*t are expensive. Was that at an exhaust and tyre place where you had it fitted? I'd have bought one at a motor factor and done it myself for half the price, after all it's only two bolts and a bit assembly paste.

Would have done but we were against the clock in a foreign land.
How much you reckon to buy out of interest? I have a mate back here who works at an exhaust supply centre!

I had all but the manifold fitted for £167.
