any old microfiche parts man will know part numbers for things like sierra rear lamps, or serivce parts as its a arse to find stuff on them you will remember
the partsman in my old branch is nicknamed " the oracle" as he knows part numbers, locations, parts that are similer that would fit, rivet sizes, reasons why forks on gearboxes dont fit blah blah blah
the man knows EVERYTHING, hes such a quiet bloke too
one day i was bored at work and so i went to the microfiche, turned it on and grabbed a slide and swung it about,,, gave him a part number and he was to tell me what it is
HOW THE FUCK ANYONE KNOWS THE PART NUMBER FOR A DOOR MOULDING ON A MK4 CORTINA ILL NEVER KNOW,,,,, HE EVEN KNEW THE FUCKING SIDE OF THE CAR IT WAS TO FIT
i tried to learn part numbers and remembered easy ones like 1066071 for focus oil filters and 1060606 i think for mk6 escort top gearbox mounts
BUT ITS CAUSE I SOLD 10 OF THEM A WEEK
same with the heater valves for fiestas and heater resistors for mondeos/focus's
but the oracle,,, i STILL call him up for info and i dont work there anymore
