If Halfords don't have it they just get it from a local retailer..... we supply a couple of Halfords with parts they usually don't keep on the shelf

intresting to see if it fits or not. They probably put it down as a 2.0litre sierra DOHC.

i had trouble getting a 2wd clutch cable, they kept giving me the 4x4 one, which was apparently more common

halfords are really making an effort!

the trade card scheme is great, managed to get an escort cosworth caliper for £38 (only cos the part number listed on the comp was wrong so they had to do me a cosworth caliper for that! ) should have retailed at £98!
