A google search brings up a fair number of sites which supply assorted
parts for domestic appliances, but which suppliers are the 'best' and don't charge extortionate prices? Also, is there any where that service manuals for domestic appliances can be download at a minimal cost or for free? Thanks |

In general your first port of call should be the manufacturer's own website; almost anything relatively recent should be on there.

CPC have a parts finder service for most white and brown goods. Much of it is only available on the phone though rather than the web site. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

CPC have a parts finder service for most white and brown goods. Much of it is only available on the phone though rather than the web site. Used to be very good. Last time I tried to use it, a part they used to stock was now 14 days to order from manufacturer, and parts they haven't been asked for before were something like a week to consult the manufacturer for availability and pricing and then 2 weeks to order. I hope that's just a blip on what has been an excellent service in the past. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |

Not sure if it was from stock of theirs or Philips though. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

CPC can be quite good - but you have to contact them as much of that sort of stock isn't on their website. -- *I went to school to become a wit, only got halfway through.
