Dealer-only parts by mail order?

Unread post by **CitroJim** » 16 Mar 2009, 08:15

We now no longer have a decent Citroen Main Stealer in Milton Keynes, unless our old established one has risen like a Pheonix under a different name following it doing a disappearing act recently without me knowing...

This has made those bits that are only available from Stealers a bit of a headache for me as all the oher Stealers are a good trip away and it means venturing into unknown and scary towns.

Is there anyone that does those dealer-only parts by mail order?

I'm going to need a few bits for the V6 Project...

Hi Jim,

thanks for the reply on the sunroof...no, it's not a pressing job so I can wait. Regarding the Stealers, if you are registered with service.citroen, doesn't that allow you to purchase parts direct?

Just a thought..

Cheers

Glyn

Maybe Duxford Garage? They are fairly helpful, and they sometimes sell surplus parts on Ebay, so they must have some concept of mail order.

Worthing Motors also seem capable of mail order.

Thanks all

Sounds like there's a nice little niche market for someone to exploit as I'm sure I'm not the only one miles from a decent Stealer and in need...

Thanks, that sounds like a good potential plan Malcolm

Who knows, you could have yourself a nice little sideline providing this service
