Default Re: parts closing

It's a real pity they are "closing out" there stock but to be expected as our Cougars reach a more mature age. However as there was only ever a little less than a thousand Cougars ever sold in Australia it is to be expected.

I have bought parts from both them and from overseas sites and they were handy when there was some urgency involved like when my radiator hose burst and spewed coolant all over the place.

However their range was limited and if they didn't have it in stock they would import it anyway which I could do myself and have it delivered to my office in a few days.

FYI all Cougars were made in Ford's Flat Rock Michigan plant. The aussie ones were sent to Ford in Germany where they were upgraded to European/Aussie specs.

When I first bought my Cougar in 2005 I soon learned that any repairs and or services had to be carefully planned in advance so that I could have everything ready to go before I arrived at my mechanics who is now my BFF

Never the less it will be sad to see them go.
