I was amazed at the NLA situation on parts for My C Plate MK3 EScort XR3i. When you consider how common they were new, you would have thought there was a large availability of parts still available. Couldn't be more wrong. One of the reasons I got rid of it. Then the problem with all the second hand spares is that they are as bad as the ones you wish to replace in the first place. Another catch 22 situation. It put me off having an older car to play with, hence I just have my daily driver A6 now. But you never know what crops up for sale!
