Well that is a big difference and I've noticed in this months Mini Mag how their O/E ignition weather shields have come right down in price. No doubt due to the fact Huddersfield Minis sell them at a fraction of the price? Anyway both Mini Spares and Somerford Minis prices are very similar, so I doubt you'd have saved by going with them either?  |

We have had quite a lot of stuff from Huddersfield & to be fair they have been pretty good - the last we ordered was a set of adjustable tie bars for chiko a couple of weeks ago on a Thursday. Apparently Interlink tried to deliver them on the Friday(Total fib cos i was off sick!) but if they had come to the right house (the address was right & we picked it up from the depot when we realised what had happened) we would have had it next day for standard delivery costs!

That sucks big time Phil, unfortunately that's why other companies like Mini Spares and Somerford cost more, probably because they actually provide a good service. |

If it was obsure parts I had ordered then I would understand, but manifold nuts and gaskets you think would be a stock item |

Just ordered stuff with Moss Europe, via Oz cooper, the guy who had the supercharged mini in last months miniworld. Oz set-up my account via TMF so I get 10 or 12% discount. Quick delivery as well and a professional attitude.

Mini Spares, Somerford Minis & Moss. Good service and good quality parts. But there are more specialised ones like Mini Machine (or M Machine after BMW sent them threats) who are good for the NLA early body panels and stuff. |
