I have an 04 plate Fiesta and if I enter the registration number in any of those 'find a part' sites it comers back saying it can't find the vehicle. Not all of them have the 'look it up by make and model' facility so I'm not able to find parts there. The DVLA database has the car with all details correct, so it does offiicially exist and can be checked for tax, MoT, insurance etc. There is, presumably, a database which is available to traders but not individuals which is accessed by the parts sites. So the big question - how do you get your car put on that database?
Any advice would be gratefully received - the older the car (and I) get, the more difficult this becomes.
