I need to replace both powersteering lines on my 2002 Cooper S and the valve cover gasket as they are all leaking. Besides the dealer, any one have any suggestions? I am not looking for someone to do the work - I am wondering if anyone buys their parts at places other than the dealer.

 

Where are you located ???

 

Philadelphia PA.

 

Bump ?

 

Have you thought of having the lines remade? they replace the rubber hose and the crimps that hold the lines on. I had a set done and it worked out really well. Fasntenal has the service to do the job I think the Napa shops also have this service

 

I haven't used this site yet but will when necessary

I use one that is similar for GM parts for my truck with great success and over 50% off on the same part from what the dealer charges.

 

i live in the levittown area and i buy most of mine off ebay store Joetlc or something like that for awesome prices. i got the brake pad sensors for 9 bucks shipped and calipers, rotors, and pads for upfront 75 shipped. other than that i've tried parts warehouses and things but the discounts aren't that great.
