Ford Ka Parts & Spares

Fitment guides, buying advice and live UK eBay prices for the Ford Ka — always confirm against your reg or VIN.

The Ford Ka is a familiar sight on UK roads, which is good news when something needs replacing: parts are plentiful and prices stay competitive. Owners search most often for exhaust, alternator and gearbox — but the model spans different engines, trims and, on most generations, a mid-life facelift, so the same-looking part isn't always the right one.

Use the guides below to match a part to your exact Ford, then check live prices from trusted UK eBay sellers. Every part page lists what to confirm before you buy, so you avoid the classic wrong-part return.

Most-searched Ford Ka parts

ExhaustView prices ›

Systems are usually sold in sections (front pipe, centre, back box) — confirm which section(s) you need and whether your car has a single or twin exit.

AlternatorView prices ›

Match the amp rating and pulley type (clutch vs solid). Stop/start cars often need a specific unit.

GearboxView prices ›

Manual vs DSG and the exact gearbox code must match — DSG (DQ250/DQ200) parts are not interchangeable.

Timing BeltView prices ›

Belt routing varies by engine code (1.6 TDI vs 2.0 TDI vs 1.4 TSI). Match your engine code, not just the model.

Brake PadsView prices ›

Front and rear are different sizes; some trims (GTI/R/sport) run bigger brakes with their own pad. Match your caliper, not just the model.

Starter MotorView prices ›

Match power rating and tooth count; stop/start cars use uprated starters.

How to check a part fits your Ford Ka

The same Ford can be sold with several engines and trims, and most generations get a mid-life facelift that changes lights, bumpers and trim. Before you buy:

Enter your registration to filter out the obvious mismatches.
Match your engine code for anything attached to the engine.
Check your trim — sportier versions often use bigger brakes and specific parts.
Confirm pre-facelift vs facelift if your car sits near the changeover year.
Best of all, match the part number on the unit you’re replacing.

Buying Ford Ka parts: genuine, aftermarket or used

Genuine and OEM parts are the safe pick for safety-critical or hard-to-reach components and cars you’re keeping long term. For routine wear items, a reputable aftermarket brand is usually as good for far less. And for pricey assemblies on an older Ford Ka — alternators, starters, lights, panels — a well-rated used or reconditioned part can be the sensible choice.

Ford Ka parts — common questions

How do I know a part fits my Ford Ka?

Start with your registration to filter obvious mismatches, then confirm the details that matter: your engine code (for anything attached to the engine), your trim level, and whether your car is pre-facelift or facelift. The surest check is to match the part number stamped on the unit you're replacing.

Where's the best place to buy Ford Ka parts?

For most owners, eBay's UK sellers offer the widest choice and the keenest prices, covering genuine, aftermarket and used parts. Buy through eBay's checkout so you're covered by the Money Back Guarantee, and favour sellers with strong feedback and a clear returns policy.

Should I buy genuine Ford parts or aftermarket?

It depends on the part. Genuine or OEM makes sense for safety-critical or hard-to-reach components and cars you're keeping long term. For routine wear items — brakes, filters, suspension arms — a reputable aftermarket brand is usually as good for far less.

Are used Ford Ka parts safe to buy?

They can be a smart choice for expensive assemblies like alternators, starters, lights and body panels, especially on an older Ford Ka. Check the seller's feedback, confirm the part number matches, and prefer sellers who state condition and offer a returns window.
