i am after a basic cluster for a BA Futura i rang Road tested Spares in Campbelltown and he tried to charge me $375 for a second hand one : needless to say i said no thank you
I think Macarthur Parts Plus is closed for the holidays as I tried them a few times over the past few days
I might give fairford spares ago as well

Yeah Road Tested Spares were not very helpful when I was looking for some parts, I got the run around and 'call back at such and such', pain in the ***.
It will be Macaurthus Parts next time I need something, they were pretty helpful when I needed a new grille.

If you go to this place, be prepared to be shafted like never before.

They have changed ownership and just try to rip you off big time.

Got a price on a overflow tank $170 second hand WTF
4 Ba MK1 XR wheels no tyres $1250 hahaha

They must be on drugs

As VCT posted, try macarthur parts plus.

In relation to Ford Pro Smithfield, Yep, totally agree, had a similar experience. Prices are often similar to new ford dealer prices, so if you don't know your prices before hand, you could easily be conned. STAY CLEAR of these guys.

Fairford are probably the best for X-series but not much else. They really do know what they are talking about too.
