As a further measure of support to operators of LDV vans and minibuses, Multipart has significantly cut the selling prices of 11,000 parts that it holds in stock at its
Owners of around 90,000 Pilot, Convoy and Cub models and their predecessors, the 200, 400 and Sherpa models, will benefit from the price cutting exercise, which is on average 15% across the board.
Both captive and competitive parts are included, ranging from body panels, for which Multipart has supply rights following the collapse of LDV, to mechanical and electrical components. Typical examples include a £90 reduction in the price of a Convoy bonnet assembly and a £20 cut in the cost of a steering lock for the Convoy and Pilot models.

All of the LDV dealers operate a daily – sometimes twice daily - parts delivery service both direct to owners or to trade outlets, such as independent garages.”
Multipart is also rigorously pursuing a number of other avenues of supply. Brendan Leach said: “We recognise difficulties with a small number of parts and we are working with our parent company, the TVS Group, to explore the possibility of sourcing some of these from their plants in
