Stihl spares

[Johny S]

Can anyone recommend anywhere that can supply stihl spares in a reasonable time? I have an MS660 and have never yet had a part through my nearest dealer that took less than a week. Any advice gratefully received as I'm tearing what's left of my hair out as the saw sits idle while the sun shines(well, it's not raining anyway!)

Any of the sponsored suppliers on the right of this post. All have great postage speed.

F R JONES delivery is exceptional, highly recommended

I'll second FR Jones, I broke the top handle on a 201T. They had one on the shelf and it was in my hands within 20 hours - 200 miles away!! My local dealer said they would have to wait before they could even order it never mind deliver.

 

I am sure the other sponsors are just as good but I tend to stick to FR Jones as every dealing has been without fault and really well priced.

Cheers Kev, I'll give them a try. Our local dealer waits until they have an "order", ie. a few different bits and pieces before they even order the stuff from Stihl , it is then posted to them, who then have to post it on to me, or I do an 80 mile round trip to pick it up. I queried why Stihl just can't post it straight to me but the dealer claims they have to check it before it's sent out. Last time they checked it so carefully I got someone elses needle cage and they got mine. It eventually took three weeks to get a new needle cage.... End of rant!

Dick Leigh carries the best range of spares in stock, if I ring them before 3pm I nearly always have the part I want the next day.

If I don't have what you need off the shelf, then I receive 3 deliveries a week Mon-Fri, so at least every other day in other words. Seems to be perfectly quick enough even for those who want something yesterday.

Mr Jones to the rescue, ordered at 4 and delivered next morning- outstanding! Many thanks to all for the advice and offers of help
