parts diagrams
Rimmers web site no longer shows parts and part numbers for out of stock items, real pain in the back side. Anyone know why?
Is there another site that shows a comprehensive parts diagram such as the ones on Rimmers web site shows but includes parts not in stock or is just part numbers and pictures? macafee2 |

I found this a few days ago, real pain. I guess it could be to stop people going elsewhere for parts, though that's not really logical; they're not going to lose a sale if they haven't got it! Surely Rover had the full exploded parts drawings done with part number listing, which is what Rimmers have been basing their stock listings on so this must exist though probably not on paper, microfisch maybe? |

I think its more the case of nla parts are taking up server space, have a clear out of stuff that's not available anymore!

I remember when I rebuilt my Triumph GT6 many moons ago I had a parts book that showed every single part down to the last washer and it’s part number.

Although after a second look, the part numbers are different to Rimmers! Malc Last edited by MGMalc; 22nd July 2019 at 08:04.. |

Perhaps this is a way of Rimmers managing their service costs so that more of the people who regularly whinge about their postage charges and buy elsewhere have less reason to buy elsewhere?  Not pointing in any particular direction.... |
