Thanks for the hello Bulldog , are their any places in the UK where you can buy parts /accesories on line do you know ? for example an oil filter , rather than confusing the Ford parts dept

Hi In The Sticks and Bulldog!! I'm yet another fellow Brit (although ex-pat) and drive mine with the steering wheel on the 'other side'. It doesnt make that much differnce really off-road, most of the time, my head is out of the window, spotting front and rear tire positions. haha.

Have a fun day guys.

Its been a long time (around 4 years) since I drove in the UK. but I still remember that you are on the left haha. I am looking forward to the winter over here, it'll be my first in the X on snow and usually we get loads

Where are you in Essex?

Welcome to you all. There are quite a few suppliers in the uk for parts but none on-line ordering just a quick call and they ship to you. Here is one that I use and their prices are ok. https://usautomotive.co.uk/Scripts/default.asp just give them a call.

A small place called Mayland which is near to Maldon , can get a bit cut off in the winter
