They've sent me the wroing dampers for my Fiesta. Does anyone know a place that sells OEM or OEM quality dampers for a mk6 1.4TDCi. My local stealership want £67 plus VAT for each side.

Try your local motor factors, I always prefer to use a local shop where possible so if you get any error with parts you have the ease of someone to deal with, you could also try euro car parts, go for kyb, sachs, monroe any of them makes should be fine.

Yeah, they are. I just bought a centre section for my daughter's Fiesta from carparts4less ebay store as they didn't list it on their website or Euro's website. When it was delivered, the label on the packaging said Euro.

Ordered some others from ECP. After I ordered them I noticed the part number on them and it is identical except one digit at the end to the cp4l dampers. They should turn up today so I can be sure that they are for a mkV and not mk6. At least I can take these back to a shop to get my money back. After I noticed this I ordered another set from fordpartsuk. They should be right. If they aren't I'm torching the car and buying something else. F#@king dampers!
