Part numbers

Hey guys,

Just wondering if you guys know if theres a place on this site or another that would allow me to find part numbers for my car.

I need a Drivers side mirror

The piece of plastic underneath the front spoiler. Not sure what its called and its pretty much undriveable unless i take it off.

And the carpet for the boot (stupid gf put a can of fibreglass resin in the back without securing the lid :( )

Hey mate

There is a "AU Parts Data" section where you can post the details you need and someone will post back the part numbers. The link is here: http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=747

However for your side mirror you could use ebay. $70 plus postage. Try this link: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FORD-FALCON-A...QQcmdZViewItem

Don’t buy your mirror through Ford –They’re about $250. You can buy a copy off eBay for $40-$70.

If you want to use the colour coded back off your existing mirror you will have to check that it will fit on the replacement mirror – some have the clips in different locations. Check with the seller before you buy.

The other thing you are after is called a splash tray. From memory, mine cost less than $70 from Ford. You could probably get one for next to nothing from a wrecker, but you will also have to get a set of the retaining clips.

Actually i was just looking. And i only need the reflective part. The rest of the mirror works well. Is there a way to get just the reflective piece?

www.ozeparts.com.au is where I got my replacement driver's mirror .... brand new for about $70.

I took the plastic drip tray off my ute as I had a massive oil leak ... and it was holding oil on it ... made a hell of a mess ... was annoying as well .... so it now sits in my garage ... you don't really need it.

Simon you sort of do need it... It keeps the hot from coming thru the radiator and circling back under the car and out the front.. You won't draw cool air thru the condensor and radiator at low speeds or stopped but recycling the hot stuff.. Knowing your job and traffic in Sydney if I was you I'd re fit it for the sake of cooler temperatures and better A/C

I pulled the splash guard off a while ago after a "mishap" with a wombat half pulled it off anyway. It seemed to affect the fit of the front bumper - it seemed to flex very easily.

When I had the car straightened out they fitted a new splash guard and now the front bumper seems to be much more secure.

Thanks for that mate ... I'll refit it and see how I go ... A/C has been fine ... will see how the engine temps go though as it's starting to get back into warmer temps again. And I got rid of that oil leak as well.

You sure that's the price ... last time I went to Ford they wanted 10 times that price .. it was more like $236 for a complete driver's mirror assembly with backing cap.

If it was $23 ... I would have definitely bought it from Ford.

Abacus · 12-10-2006, 08:41 AM

Yes, I priced these as well. They were two hundred and forty-something.

Is ER 17C721 the reflector only, perhaps? I couldn't see any way to remove the old reflector from the housing, but I could be wrong??

**Mechan1k** · 12-10-2006, 08:46 AM

Actually ... come to think of it ... the mirror face does separate though.
My father-in-law had his replaced after it was smashed (glass only) ... and it cost him about $30 from Ford.

So if the glass section needs replacing only ... I am pretty sure it can be replaced separately now.

I had to replace the entire unit though as I had a crack in the swivel mount that made the mirror wobble all over the place ... and nearly fell off on the freeway.

Abacus · 12-10-2006, 09:34 AM

Bugger. All I broke was the glass.

: Could have saved myself a heap of aggravation, getting the back resprayed and so forth.

Pik0 · 12-10-2006, 12:06 PM

Does anyone know if that drip tray is standard for most cars? As i have a mate who owns a salvage yard so i could just get it from there.

Also does anyone know how to get the glass or the mirror off the door mirrors?
