Who thought it was a good idea to change the old format? (Unless of course it's hidden somewhere I can't find it.)
Used to be able to whiz through it quickly to see if there was anything of interest.
Not Now!!

Where are the parts and spares?

Not that I've looked for ages, all on FaceBook now . . . . https://www.facebook.com/groups/tvrbuysellswap

Parts and spares (along with anything else other than cars) are now in the Marketplace Forums

Thanks for the link. it's the only way I can find it as there is nothing on my Pistonheads website. It's ridiculous, they keep on doing their best to kill off Pistonheads, it used to be brilliant but now dying fast.

Well it's only been in existence since 1 December 2022, and as evidenced in this thread not many have found it yet. smile

Yes we know where it is but, unlike its predcessor, it's hardly as logical and easily useable is it.

A classic example of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

They probably gave up looking.

At least the Forums are unchanged.

We’ve been busy making significant changes this year to our premium used car search experience, making it easier for you to find your dream car on PH.

However, as part of this rebuild with a renewed focus on car listings and general decline in traffic to our non-car classifieds, we’re removing the ability to list all private non-car listings from PistonHeads from 1 December. Any existing listings will run until they expire.

Any adverts that were previously shown under Motorbikes, Motorsport, Parts & Plates and Non-Motoring will be removed from the website and will no longer be supported.

This has not been an easy decision but will allow us to focus on continuing to improve the core of our business.

If you have an advert live in our non-car classifieds, there’s nothing you need to do and it’ll be removed in due course.
and Ben Lowden also said:
We're in the process of setting up new Marketplace forums for:
  • Motorbikes
  • Parts and plates
  • Non-motoring
While these categories were rarely used in the classifieds, we recognise there may be demand in the forums for members to sell amongst each other, so these forums will be launching soon.
