Parts supply in Spain?
I'm in southern Spain and I just know I'll be needing some parts soon with both clutch and brake problems.
What's my best option for parts? Order from eBay and U.K. suppliers? I know parts are available here in Spain but I was warned that I'll be ripped off by the suppliers and/or mechanics. Specifically, I already need a handbrake cable set and the junction box. Also, one of the bonnet latch receptacles is seized up. Is this worth the trouble of replacing or should I just live with it? Many thanks for any advice. |

Hi,
I am living in Norway, and I am ordering all parts from the UK through Ebay. Bying parts here = ripping me off

If I were you I would order online whether it be Ebay or other retailers and get
Them posted out especially if the locals try and rip you off. I would Definately change the bomnet latch as you don't want it popping open when your driving search Ebay for 75's or Zt's breaking and get a 2nd hand one. |

Thanks for the good advice. Buying parts locally would definitely be a rip-off.
As for the bonnet latch, mine has two of them plus the security latch so there's no way it can come open when driving. I don't even see any lifting or buffeting on the side missing a latch. Having said that, I will have it replaced just to keep it proper and tight. |
