This is the sort of gibberish that I used to get from my son's headteacher,
he couldn't see there was a problem !!
Mind you Abbey National send the same sort of illiterate junk and don't even
apologise when it is pointed out !

Snip illiteracy

Which bit are you complaining about? The illiteracy or the fact that they
seem to want to know every bloody thing about the car before they'll sell
you anything?

We wanted a seal for part of our 106 diesel pump. Just a round piece of
rubber about the size of a penny. Peugeot only wanted the bloody VIN number
and registration. Of course as the car was off the road my wife was driving
my car and wasn't about to drive an 8 mile round trip just to get it. GSF
and Motaquip just need the registration.

==================================
Just a general comment on this question of identifying spares. You can't
expect a storekeeper / spares assistant to have personal knowledge
of all bits and pieces. Most manufacturers provide spares for many current
and recent models (e.g. Peugeot - about 20 models). Most Parts departments
I've seen in recent years  have an excellent on-counter computerised
database which depends on correct vehicle identification to locate a
specific item amongst the many thousands of items which go into building a
car. Precise information is required and it's in our interest as customers
to provide it. Providing a 'VIN' number and Registration number hardly
seems over the top to identify a possibly obscure part, so let's be
reasonable with the people who help keep our cars on the road. I've always
found them helpful even with the most unlikely bits.
