egg Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Hi folks - the wheel trims for my MK1 mondeo base are specific to that trim level. And I've just found out that Ford have deleted them from their catalogue. They were still making them as recently as April. Anyway, I chased one remaining one up in Falkirk, and they can't find it. So, the last place that apparently has 3 left is TrustFord in Walthamstow. E17 5DU. But...I can't get through to them despite calling half a dozen times today and doing online chat etc. Anyone close? I don't suppose they'll disappear instantly, but this is my last chance to stay OEM without going overseas (apparently loads of stock in Europe) Thanks! I should be able to get up there myself after Xmas, but would be good to know they actually exist before making the journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 I'm going to try again in the morning. I tried calling the Enfield branch as it happens, but they couldn't help either. Hopefully they were just on their Christmas piss-up today or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 TrustFord/Dagenham motors are a bit of a joke- I know the parts guy is in today, I checked with their service desk - but just no answer on the phone line (I know I have the correct number). My dad worked in the motor factor trade for 30 years, and would never leave a 'phone unanswered Request still stands please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairySteve Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 E17 is my patch. I'm out of the country atm but could get round there next Tuesday or Wednesday if you've not run them to ground by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexg Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Getting through to any Main Dealer parts counter is no mean feat. Once overcome, speaking to someone with even an ounce of acumen is friggin impossible. Good luck AMC Rebel and egg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm out of the country atm but could get round there next Tuesday or Wednesday if you've not run them to ground by then. Kind offer cheers. I'll let you know. Getting through to any Main Dealer parts counter is no mean feat. Once overcome, speaking to someone with even an ounce of acumen is friggin impossible. Good luck Yeah. I even tried my local dealer as well to see if they could buy them on my behalf and get them moved over. But despite having an (inter)national parts inventory - that is impossible it seems. Obv I realise they are franchises, but still... Again, your local factor chain would be more likely to do this for you, in fact my dad's firm had a van that ran between Croydon and East Kent daily at one stage moving stock to where customers wanted it.

egg Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Cheers Ken. I'm happy to drive up that way to come and get them, it's just I don't want a wasted trip if it it turns out the last three in the country don't actually exist.
