Ford is aiming to boost workshop business for its van dealers with cut price parts
It has cut the price of selected parts for Transit and Transit Connect models that are more than four years old by half.
The move follows the recent launch of Motorcraft 4+ from Ford, its parts and service package targeting drivers of commercial vehicles and cars aged four years and older.
Jon Wellsman, Ford of Britain Customer Service Division director, said: “Small businesses need to watch every penny, and these price cuts on regular service parts will bring savings that customers really notice.
“Ford commercial vehicle dealers offer top quality parts installed by trained technicians – now at an even more competitive cost.”
A replacement clutch slave cylinder on a 2000–2006 Ford Transit is now up to 58% cheaper, a saving of up to £210.
The Ford and Ford Motorcraft value range parts available at a reduced price also include:
- Brakes: brake discs and linings
- Filters: oil filters, air filters, diesel fuel filters
- Clutches / flywheels: clutch kits, clutch release bearings and dual mass flywheels
- Running gear: wishbones / control arms, wheel bearings
These reductions come as Ford is completing the launch of its new Transit range in Europe.
