FAQ's Quickest way to add Parts and Cars, Logging In

Some FAQs on the new PartsAllOver release

Can't find you car or a specific part?
The quickest way to add something to PartsAllOver is to Sell it. We are giving priority to adding any part someone wants to sell. That includes linking it to the vehicle(s) it fits, so of course they will start to show in your search options as well.
The PartsAllOver database is over a million parts and 7000 odd vehicles and we have a new version in preparation with over two million parts. To be visible and useful to you, we need to link parts with vehicles and cross reference them to equivalent parts from aftermarket or performance manufacturers. If you want to sell a part Free, enter the listing, we will verify it, link it and publish. Look out for our sixty second Sell It Free Video next week.

New Site Release for PartsAllOver

Our long awaited new release is finally here. Now you have a simple way to buy and sell parts and accessories Free using PartsAllOver.

We are also introducing our social network so you can network with other enthusiasts and share what you know or find out about what you don't. You can chat 1 to 1, use the forums to leave messages, add photos and videos, even blog if you like.

You need to create a NingID to use the social network or use the Free listing on PartsAllOver. The same user name and password is used for both.

Listing something is as easy as entering the manufacturer, part number, condition and price.

After you enter the Part Number, press Tab and wait until the wheel stops spinning, if we can match the part upfront we will fill in the Section, Part Type and Description for you.

If not, you need to fill in those for us as well and let us know in the notes what vehicles you know the part fits and how you know eg read it on the box.

We will be fixing some usabilility issues over the next few day to make entry clearer. Post any issues on the forum, meanwhile enjoy.
