Welcome to my Obsolete Car Spares Shop on eBid which is part of my online spare parts for cars business.

One of the common problems encountered in this business is obsolete old parts stock for which I cannot identify the vehicle applications. The other side of this problem is potential customers who are trying to keep old vehicles on the road but who have difficulty finding the necessary parts. If they have the relevant parts manuals they will know what part number to look for. I have set up this Obsolete Car Parts Shop on eBid therefore as a place where obsolete parts are listed by part number so that customers can find what they are looking for through internet search.

I have a lot of Renault parts stock that came from Renault dealerships clearing out their stock rooms to make space for parts for newer models.  

Included in the stock was the metal panel shown in the photo which is for sale in this listing.  

The part number is 7751688438.

This is a new and unused item. It comes with a Renault label and is a genuine Renault item. 

I am not able to find the part number in any of my Renault catalogues but list it on eBid anyway as somebody somewhere will have need of it and will recognise it.

Postage to UK addresses excluding the Channel Islands will be £2.61 by second class post. Buyer may collect to save the postage cost. I am in West London near Heathrow.

This item can be posted overseas. Could overseas buyers please enquire for an estimate of postage costs before buying so that I can update the eBid system with the correct postage for you.  

Terms and Conditions

Although I try to provide a friendly and efficient service, I have also to comply with the legislation governing on-line trading. The following are the general terms and conditions relating to all my online fixed price and auctions trading. They apply as appropriate to this particular listing. Please do not be put off by the length of these terms and conditions. They are designed to help you know what your rights and responsibilities are in this transaction.

My eBid Shop is operated as a commercial business. From time to time I might also list items which I had not bought originally for resale.

My eBid listings are offers to sell. Purchasers will be deemed to have accepted the offer to sell and to have entered into a legally binding contract which will be effective from my e-mail confirmation that payment has been accepted from the buyer and that the purchase(s) is(are) about to be despatched. The contract will be deemed to be made under English law which will apply in the case of dispute. These terms and conditions are part of the contract.

Please ensure that payment for your purchase is received by myself within 14 calendar days of purchase date. If payment has not been received by then, I reserve the right to cancel the transaction and to relist on eBid or to sell elsewhere.

Payment is accepted from UK purchasers by cash on collection, postal order, cheque, banker’s draft, Nochex and Google Checkout. If you do not have a Nochex or Google Checkout account, you may make payment with your credit or debit card through Nochex without having to open a Nochex account. The Nochex payments system is not integrated currently with the eBid site so it will be necessary for me to send you a payment request from the Nochex system if you wish to pay this way. Please send me a message after purchase if you would like to pay by Nochex .

Payment is accepted from overseas purchasers only by Google Checkout. I do not accept banker’s drafts from overseas purchasers and do not give out my bank account details for wired funds transfer from overseas.

It is a condition of sale that purchasers agree to reimburse me for any bank costs incurred in connection with returned cheques.

Delivery within the UK will normally be by second class post or by parcel post unless specified otherwise and will take up to 5 days generally to reach purchasers after despatch. Goods paid for by cheque will be despatched after 10 days has been allowed for the cheque to pass through the banking system. If purchasers wish for alternative methods of delivery including faster delivery, please contact me to discuss before buying.

Delivery outside of the UK will be by normal postal services where possible. It might be necessary for larger or heavier items to be shipped by other methods including courier which will be expensive. Overseas purchasers should contact me for estimates of postage or delivery costs before bidding. Although the eBid system shows overseas postage at zero, there will be a charge to send overseas.

Purchasers from outside of the United Kingdom are solely responsible for paying any taxes due on their purchase such as sales tax and import tax.

No guarantee is given as to the likely serviceable life of used car parts and the purchaser makes an acceptance to purchase a used car part on the basis that its remaining service life will be less than for a new part and could be limited.

Return instructions:

·       It is a term of the contract that all goods subject to refunds will need to be returned to me by purchasers. In all cases, purchasers should keep items safely on their own premises and await my instructions before returning to me. Goods should not be returned until I have given an instruction to do so. Please retain the original manufacturer’s packing to return goods in. 

When fitting a car part supplied by me, it is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to decide whether it is safe to fit the part. In particular, any part purchased from me should be checked for match of physical dimensions, external appearance and part number to the part being replaced on your car. Sometimes, the part that is being replaced on an old car will not be the same as the manufacturer’s original specification and there will have been some modification against the original specification for your car. A replacement part purchased from myself with the correct original specification might now not be appropriate to fit. Please remember that a faulty car can kill. Do not take any risk with replacement parts. Seek professional advice as appropriate when replacing parts.

I will retain your personal details (name and address, details of purchase) for 90 days after the date of purchase (close of the eBid listing) in case there are any issues arising from the purchase. I will then delete the personal details in compliance with Data Protection legislation. By entering into contract to purchase from me, the purchaser accepts that I may hold his/her personal details for up to 90 days.

Thank you.
