[andyfanshawe]

Hi all.
I need part # F7LZ9275AA (fuel level sender) for my 97 mark 8. Where do you guys usually get your parts? I am in the UK, so oredring online is good, but I will phone them if necessary.

Thanks for any reply.
Andy.

Can't find it there either. Must be somewhere - surely?

The part is discontinued. Last price was about $50. I would try retail or some other stores that usually carry physical inventory and can search all their warehouses. Not sure where to look in the UK though.

Ah sorry. Was thinking pump. When I need a sender I just go in the back yard. Got a couple out there from first gens.

There is one listed on JC Whitney, but it's like $70:

That's just when I found in looking for a few minutes. It's a Spectra Part #27065G complete with fuel pump.

Thats still not bad. I have seen sending units on other cars go for hundreds.

I replaced mine with the one off the focus basket. Flip it over and swap the arm, same unit.

Thank you for the replies.

I have also contacted these

They restore sending units back to factory fresh. V. impressive site.

May help someone else in future.
