You have a typo in the part number
7E5 863 736 G LAX
this part supercedes to
7E5 863 736 R LAX
and is described as matt yellow

M also supercedes to R

Ah, Thanks. So it is 7E5 863 736 R LAX. - Drivers side with heater vent and chrome (matt yellow) insert.

If you get the opportunity at this busy time, could you pm me a quote please. Thanks
 
I’m away from the office now til after Xmas but I think it was £96 + vat which is a per your price above, I will get a little bit of discount plus the postage (it’s quite large when boxed up) and I imagine it wouldnt save anything intact it may work out slightly more ??

Ok. I thought that might be the case. No problem. Enjoy the break.

I can confirm 100% we now have the right info.
 
Just bought my OEM duct and associated accessories from TPS, less the grills. The grills were on back order so sourced them from eBay Poland.
As long as you have the part numbers you need, TPS are always happy to deal....
Jackson’s seem to have the best price for the T6 Eberspacher kits @ the mo... £770 inc

Have they started selling to the public again. the 2 TPS nearest me stopped, even if I went with part numbers? Which one do you go to, they might deal over the phone and post?

Kirknalls have the kit for £750 at the moment.

I’ve used TPS @ Chester for years without an issue. They can be funny if you ask them to do the leg work to identify part numbers though...

Kirknall’s £750 inc is for the old d2 version. Jackson’s is for the new d2l version.

My mistake, Kirknalls are £790 for the D2L.

Its strange how the Bolton and Oldham both stopped selling to public on same day, saying company policy had tightened up and VW were on their case. Surprised it was different for Chester.
 
There are others on the forum that purchase through their local TPS outlets too so it appears not to be a National strategy

My local TPS - who I used for the tailgate conversion, gladly carried on emailing with me over the right part numbers for seat plastics. Only when I placed the order that the salesman said “we’re not supposed to sell to the public anymore so I’ll see what I can do”..
I don’t know what he done, but when I went to collect the parts, the paperwork just showed my name and I had no issue in paying with a card.

Maybe they’ve been told to aim higher than Joe Public by HQ, and that some of them are happy to take money from wherever it comes from?
 
Most TPS will sell on a cash account - sometimes it depends on who is working as they're not supposed to do it. There seems to be "reminders" issued every now and then to stop selling to the public - I presume as dealers complain as it eats their profit margins.

If you have a good relationship with your dealer and can convince them to give you some of their discount trim parts might be cheaper than TPS can do you on a cash account. Certainly some dealers can sell out things like carbon caps and other add on bits cheaper.
 
Anybody know of a good stockist of night heater parts around Cheshire/winsford? Need some exhaust and a new straight through cap end. But really need to pick it up tomorrow as I’m on a rented ramp on Thursday.
 
Hi,
I am just about to do the B post cut for the air duct has anyone got any measurements that I can work to ?

Regards
Stuart
