Try the wreckers, quickest and probably cheapest option

Try the online part finder sites, www.autoparts.com.au, findapart, partfinder, whatever. Google "parts locator" or similar. Post 4 or 5 requests on these sites to reach hundreds of wreckers. I saved hundreds on my BA front suspension & brakes compared to the local Ford specialist, not to mention sourcing an AU1/Smartshield XR6HP PCM that's as rare as rocking-horse shight and just not available locally. You post and wait for the offers to come in by email, generally within 2-3 working days. Too easy.
