Murder in the UK!

Hi, I need some advice please.

Yesterday I took my '98 V6 for it's BIG 60,000 mile service. Don't know what you pay in the US but it cost me £350 and if it wasnt for an extended warranty I would have paid £190 for a ball joint which needed replacing!

SO........... as you will understand I was just a little bit enraged to go out to my car this morning and find that some drunken lowlife had ripped the 'Explorer' badge from my tailgate leaving just a load of glue and the 'R' on the end!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try as I might (maybe due to tailgate rage) I cannot find a source for a replacement.( better buy a handful in case the d*

How about a salvage (aka junk) yard?

eBay... I've seen several auctioned...

I wish, see the bit about the ball joint!!!!

Thanks for the help, I have now found fordpartsonline.com who will supply the part for about $17 ( £12)

Phone call to a UK dealer today revealed that we have to pay £45 for this part! madness!!!

guess I'll order about ten 'cos the bugger is bound to come back.

Hey Terry,

I'd suggest buying the one off EBAY if you can find it. Then purchase and install one of those web cams facing your Explorer to video the bloke who is ripping you off. I bet you'll save a few bucks (pounds) and get more peace of mind that way.
