Am test driving a 1999 T reg Felicia tomorrow, and obviously want to consider as many aspects of ownership as possible.

How easy is it to get hold of Skoda parts? I have used 247spares previously to get parts for my Rover 600, and found them quite competitive. Can't 'test' prices though cos wouldn't have a clue what to put in as the part I am looking for :O

So where do you get your parts? And how expensive/cheap are they in relation to other cars you have owned?

I can't do the maintenance myself - bad back problems means I have pretty much zero flexibility :( - so am hoping if they are needed to buy the parts, and just get the garage to fit them.

Any experiences/recommendations appreciated. Thanks

A Skoda garage is the best place to get Skoda Felicia parts.

Excellent news - there is one in Worthing which is close to me. Thanks

We got some parts for our Skoda Pickup and were pleasantly surprised at just how cheap they are

It's actually quite reassuring knowing there is a dealer nearby and to find out that parts aren't killer price-wise is even better

I get my parts from Czech Republic... is much much cheaper there...

e. g. Exhaust manifold

Germany: 125 €

Czech: 58 €

and of course ebay is not that bad

Lol, I think the postage to the UK might make it a bit expensive to buy from the Czech republic

I know but you asked where we buy our parts... and this was my answer

Germany - UK by postage costs 32 €

Also try Skoda Parts - Jorily. The Skoda Parts Shop - Probably the UKs largest independent skoda parts supplier who is a partner here. It's run by a nice guy called Graham and he can get hold of pretty much anything you'll need - so if it's not on his site ask him

Other than that dealers will be cheaper than you might imagine for some things, and there's always ebay as mentioned by pollywog

Yep jorily are good, I bought my service parts and a dipstick.

Just got the dipstick!!!!

I got a skoda garage near me and they are good for prices and parts as they know their Skodas.

All excellent news - thanks guys
