Hi all,
I am new to this forum site and as the longtime owner of my 1981 Mercedes 123 Series 200D, would appreciate advice as to where members would seek the best priced quality spares. I have obtained parts from America and Germany in the past, but any advice as to where one can get the best deals would be most welcome.
Thanks:)

For a more modern Merc, but I use a combination of MB Grangemouth and Newcastle, Autodoc website (waiting for 40%+ discount) and eBay where I can be sure the item isn't counterfeit

Thanks. Advice appreciated. eBay good but postage charges usually over the top! I have used AutoDoc which is not a bad source.
Cheers
Alan

Depends on what parts you need and what quality you are after.

With an older car some parts become harder to obtain.

MB dealer, MB classic germany, prestige and Dronsfields (breakers), ebay UK and Germany (if knowing its a legit part). Avoid anything coming from China.
