[DML] Re: Ignition issue- RESOLVED (long)

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I could agree with you but most of the people on the DML are not
qualified to determine the "correct" parts. In some cases cross-over
referenced parts may change sources and no longer be suitable. It is
hard enough for most people to do the work at all let alone to figure
out if the parts will work. They could end up buying the parts and
doing the work twice, once to use the "el cheapo" parts and once to
use the parts from the venders. You are correct that the venders do
not manufacure many parts but some they do and in all cases they use
these parts on cars they service so they know they will work and will
stand behind them when they don't. They will also provide telephone
support but you can't expect them to help you when you buy the parts
at Autozone! Anyone can do whatever they want and buy their parts from
whoever they choose. When you go to buy a Delorean and you don't see a
Perflux oil filter and other parts that didn't come from a Delorean
vender you wonder just what the P.O. did with all the cross-referenced
parts and if they wil work. It also isn't just a matter of IF the
parts work, it is also how reliable and how long they will function.
In many cases the Delorean vender's prices are less then you will pay
elsewhere, especally on the Bosch parts. In some cases it makes no
sense at all to buy some things from the Delorean venders, like tires,
wiper blades, batteries, light bulbs, oil, etc.
