The Glasgow TPS seem happy to provide private individuals (its all money!) - the only stipulation is that you have to collect it.

Milton Keynes TPS will happily sell to public but you do not get any discounts if do not have trade account with them. This means most parts cost the same or very near as from dealers and I have even been quoted higher than dealer prices on some parts.

Ah, sometimes it says CASH SALE and sometimes if you're lucky, the name of some garage or taxi co. and then I must get the discount.
I must take the name on one of these old invoices' companies and name drop.

I've just bought a new 020 size battery from TPS for £92 including vat for one of the D3's which was better than anyone else locally for a change, but we do get some trade discount from them

Hello again Matty.

Have just got onto TPS and ordered the pack of 3 CDs (4L0998961).
I supplied the other number too (S4E0906961H) - which isn't available in the UK, so they say?
What CD rom does that part num pertain to?
Thanks Chris

Hi Chris, the part number is 4E0906961H, ignore the S as it means superseded. You only need this CD if your MMI version is 1110 or lower.

Hope that helps.
