    Aprilia claim that the parts have been dispatched but the dealer says that they will not have the parts till after the new year.

    I think you would have been better of doing a internet search for ya parts. Mine was A Rockets of Blackburn. they told me 3 weeks for the wiring from Italy for the fuel pump. I came home, Did the search and found the same wiring at Yorkshire Aprilia dealer. So in 1 day part sourced & Delivered the next day. only to be told that they need a vitron ring which would take at least another 10 days. I came home again and search again & Found said Vitron ring from speedways of London ( Another Aprilia dealer). delivered to Rockets the very next day. I was F**k fuming why couldn't they have a uk based Parts search data base !!!!!!!. So what would have taken at least 3 weeks with the dealer. It took me 3 days to source and have delivered to the dealer, Another day to have them fitted. From OTHER Aprilia dealers. Isn't life fun !!!!!!!!
