Trying to locate a couple of water hoses for XM:
6464AQ
6464AR
Does anyone know this supplier, in France?
https://www.jcparts.eu/
Just had a bad experience with a German supplier and PayPal, so I'm being cautious.
Thanks...

Well, first of all they're not located in France. It took a little bit of digging but I found that they're based in the Czech Republic.

That's not a negative by the way. I suspect that you found them through an advert or search in France and, as they're mail order only, they provide a French phone number to avoid dialling international. I'm not sure whether the 9 prefix is a premium number (in France) or otherwise.
Apart from that the only other thing I've got to say is that they're located about 12 miles from where my paternal line great grandfather was born and I almost certainly passed within a few hundred metres of the place on my grand tours in 2011 and 2012!

As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

A little bit more digging on the phone number. It's not a premium number but a VOIP number so can originate from anywhere in the world. From Wikipedia:
The regulator (ARCEP, previously ART) had issued a range for Telephony over xDSL in the 087x range, which might confuse consumers, as calls to these numbers are billed as local calls nationwide. Starting 20 December 2005, these have been changed to 09xx numbers, which are dedicated to VoIP. All 087x numbers have been converted to 09xx numbers by 15 December 2008.

Re: Trusty parts supplier?
Thanks, Paul, for that background check. Not quite what I expected, but maybe ok?
Would be good to know if anyone here has ever bought from them.
