are there any non dealer sources for parts? my radiator was damaged and it took 3 weeks to get it fixed. 1 garage didnt call back. 1 quoted £215 + VAT and labour but had no idea how long it would take and the 3rd is familiar with the car (likes it) but had problems finding a radiator. even then it took a week to get hold of 1.
looking through the threads i notice even bumpers are hard to come by.
are galant parts that hard to get hold of or is it a matter of knowing where to look?

incidentally, i have had my car nearly 3 years now. the clutch springs went 6 weeks into ownership and now a radiator was needed so finding parts isnt something i frequently need but knowing where to get them could be handy
