I would recommend Desira Group Plc in Diss Norfolk, 01379 650111, ask for parts or Andy, I often order parts from them, I usually get a discount, pay by card, & they usually post parts off pretty quickly.
Ebay worldwide "Lancia Dedra" will usually turn up Dedra water pumps, I suspect they maybe pattern parts but usually sell for well under £50, & even with postage, is a worthwhile buy.
I recently picked up a complete exhaust from the Kat back, for my 1992 Dedra 2.0ie Auto, from Berlin, my copy of Eper (2005) listed this genuine item at £250, I know from experience that a pattern part in the UK would cost in the region of £125; The cost of the pattern item including UPS delivery from Germany was £51, it appears to be of a similar quality to the pattern part available in the Uk.
Slight problem with brackets not being quite right, although that didn't stop it being fitted securely.
I know all the arguments for fitting genuine parts, but bearing in mind the value of even a good Dedra these days, it's very hard to justify buying an exhaust that costs something like 40% the value of the car! even if the exhaust only lasts twelve months I can still buy 5 of these for the cost of one genuine system, that going by my considerable experience of running 5 Dedra's over the last 15 years, is unlikely to last much more than 3 years.
That said, going by my own recent experiences, I very much agree with Kevin in that it is quite surprising how much stock Lancia do hold for Dedra Y10 & Thema, & in many cases being cheaper than you see the same parts on Ebay, with bidders paying far more than they would pay for the item from Lancia!
When Lancia quit the UK a system was set up that only certain dealers would be able to obtain Lancia parts, but if you find a dealer that suites you, I would recommend, Desira, John Whalley, LC Motors in Newport South Wales, all I have dealt with over the years. No doubt others would also be able to recommend others.
