Haven't had that problem with the triton but most of the time now I order my own parts online for a fraction of the cost and get a good quality mechanic to fit it all

But that will cost two arms and three legs. Or you can get one from the warehouse in 3-5 weeks for just one arm and one leg.

I work in a major dealership in a parts department,I can assure you all it's not the dealer that is making the money and making the rules for the supply of the parts.
A lot of the manufactures realy need to look at what they doing,and what parts they hold,in stock.

I also work for a major dealership also in parts and can agree with the above comment. It also depends on the parts guy you speak too. You can get some that will help and others the will go the extra mile to help out. I know I am the guy that will take that extra step to try and find somewhere to get the part you need.

my 2c worth any way.

Think I might hang onto the '99 "jackaroo" a bit longer  :-* :-*
That is why I have a "Jack" at least you can get bits from wreckers - or from the USA.

We've actually been considering buying our '95 Jackaroo back as it was a great car...bit underpowered for our lifestyle now, but was an awesome car when not towing. Stookie HATES the 105....we've had just about everything but the engine and gearbox replaced now, so we just keep our fingers crossed :/

Years ago I had a Daihatsu Feroza.  Brilliant little car.  Anyway...I had an accident in it and it needed a new front bonnet.  Daihatsu rang me to say the were very sorry but they had a bit of a run on bonnets recently and mine was going to be a 6-8 week wait.  For my trouble they loaned me one of their demo fleet Ferozas.  I couldn't believe it..! 

Now that's customer service...!   :cup:
