Finding OEM parts in the UK

[Kristian87]

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone has a source/supplier for all oem parts? I could call Ford and go that way, but don't want to hassle them every time I have a question.

I'm on a mission to replace some of the bushings in the rear suspension and want to start with like for like for replacements. There's a handful of parts on ebay, but not everything. Places like Nemesis may do the odd part too, but I'm after an online resource where I can just find the info - any prices preferably.

An example is the rear sway bar bushing, part # FR3Z-5493-B. I just can't seem to find that anywhere unless I want to import from the USA!

This place was a good start;

Guess I just march off to Ford with a list. Frustratingly difficult to find any of these parts to buy in the UK.

I had this struggle last week, our part numbers don't match the US, if you go to somewhere like Tascaparts.com you can see a break down of components to find what you're looking for. It gets even more confusing when you select a part that fits a 2015-2017 GT with performance pack and they say that part is not compatible with your VIN and the description of the recommended parts doesn't look right.

Have you tried rock auto. I buy service parts in bulk and its much cheaper. I havent needed them for other part but they seem to have most things.

Rock Auto seems like a great resource, thanks! Easy to navigate and find parts, photos, and even pricing as a reference.

I can see myself placing an order from here at some point. The elusive oem red rear reflectors have been on my list for a while, easy to find and listed at £10! Don't mind the VAT, shipping, duty etc if the prices are as reasonable as that.

The OEM retailers are pretty cheap compared to the same products on AM, CJPP, LMR, SR etc. Once my order gets delivered I'll let you know if I found the correct parts

Another thumbs up for Rock Auto. I need a gt350/bullitt air filter. Ford UK dealer price for this is £85 and they are on back order. Rock auto is $24 each + shipping and tax. I can therefore buy two from Rock auto, delivered with tax in 7 days for approx the same cost as one from my local dealer with no delivery date.

The difference what they pay across the pond is staggering. By own admission im a bit anal and change the oil in mine every 2k -2.5k, I order a box of 12 motocraft for £60 delivered. It brilliant value.
