Alright Perth, let’s have a chat. Your Ford Ranger isn’t just a ute, is it? It’s the workhorse that’s never let you down on a building site in Joondalup. It’s the trusty steed that’s hauled the boat down to Cockburn Sound for a fish on a perfect Sunday morning. It’s the adventure machine that’s seen the red dust of the Pilbara and the tall timbers down near Pemberton. Here in WA, a Ranger is part of the family—a tough, reliable mate that gets the job done.
But even the toughest mates have their off days. A stray roo on a country road, an unfortunate moment in a busy carpark, or just the relentless wear and tear from years of hard yakka can put your pride and joy on the sidelines. Suddenly you’re staring down the barrel of a hefty repair bill, with dealership prices for new parts looking scarier than a traffic jam on the Kwinana Freeway on a Friday arvo.
Well, hold onto your Akubra, because your mates at WA Auto Parts have some seriously good news. We have just taken delivery of a 2012 Black Ford Ranger PX, and we are currently wrecking it for parts. This isn’t just any wreck; it’s a treasure trove of genuine, quality-tested components ready to get your Ranger back to its brilliant best without you having to remortgage the house.
Think of it as an organ donor for utes. This black beauty, while its days on the road are over, is packed with perfectly good parts that are itching for a second chance to serve. For any Perth Ranger owner, this is a golden opportunity you don’t want to miss.
What’s Up for Grabs? A Deep Dive into this Ranger’s Parts Goldmine
We know you’re a practical bunch. You want the nuts and bolts, the fair-dinkum details. So, let’s pop the bonnet and peel back the layers to see exactly what treasures this 2012 PX Ranger has to offer.
1. The Powerhouse: Engine & Drivetrain Components
The heart of any Ranger is its legendary diesel engine. If yours is feeling a bit tired or has suffered a major failure, this is your chance.
- Complete Engine Assembly: This Ranger was running one of the legendary Ford diesel engines (likely the 3.2L 5-cylinder or the 2.2L 4-cylinder). We’ve got the complete, long motor assembly. A genuine, low-kilometre used engine can be a far more economical and reliable solution than a costly rebuild.
- Transmission & Drivetrain: Whether you have the 6-speed automatic or the manual gearbox, we have the complete unit. We’ve also got the transfer case for the 4×4 models, front and rear differentials, driveshafts, and axles. Everything you need to put the power back to the wheels where it belongs.
- The Support Crew: It’s not just the big stuff. We have the turbocharger, starter motor, alternator, air conditioning compressor, radiator, intercooler, and all the associated hoses and pipes. These are genuine Ford parts, designed to fit perfectly and last.
2. The Tough Exterior: Body Panels in Classic Black
Let’s be honest, black utes look tough. If yours has a few battle scars, here’s your chance for a facelift. The benefit of getting panels from a black vehicle is that you might be able to bolt them straight on and avoid a costly trip to the paint shop!
- Doors: We have all four doors, complete with glass, window regulators, and interior trims.
- The Tub/Tray & Tailgate: The business end of the ute. If your tub is dented from years of carrying tools or your tailgate has seen better days, we’ve got a straight, clean replacement.
- Bonnet, Guards & Bumpers: These panels are the first line of defence. We have the front guards (fenders), the bonnet, and the front and rear bumpers. If this Ranger had a bull bar or nudge bar, that will be available too!
- Mirrors & Trim: Wing mirrors, flares, and other exterior trim pieces are all available.
3. The Command Centre: Interior Comfort & Tech
You spend a lot of time in your ute, so it needs to be comfortable and functional. This Ranger’s cabin is full of parts to restore your interior.
- Seats: Complete set of front and rear seats. If your driver’s seat is worn through from sliding in and out a thousand times, this is an easy and affordable upgrade.
- Dashboard & Instrument Cluster: A cracked dash can make the whole vehicle feel old. We have the complete dashboard assembly, the instrument cluster (speedo), and the centre console.
- Infotainment & Steering: We have the factory stereo/head unit (likely the Ford Sync system), steering wheel (complete with airbag and controls, all safety-checked), and the gear shifter.
- Carpet & Trim: Full set of carpets and all the plastic interior trims to replace anything that’s broken or scuffed.
4. The Essentials: Lights, Glass & Electricals
Don’t get caught out with a faulty light or a window that won’t budge.
- Headlights & Tail Lights: Crystal clear headlights and undamaged tail lights are ready to go. A cracked tail light is a common issue on work utes, and this is a cheap fix.
- Complete Glass Set: Windscreen, side windows, and rear screen. If you have a chip or crack, we can help.
- Electrical Modules: Modern vehicles are full of computers. We have the Body Control Module (BCM), ECU (Engine Control Unit), and various other control units that can be notoriously expensive to buy new.
5. The Foundation: Suspension, Wheels & Brakes
A Ranger’s ride quality and stopping power are crucial, whether you’re on the freeway or a corrugated track up north.
- Suspension: We have the complete front suspension assemblies (struts, control arms) and the rear leaf springs and shocks.
- Wheels & Tyres: The vehicle comes with a full set of factory wheels (check with us if they are alloy or steel). The tyres might even have enough good tread to get you out of a bind.
- Braking System: Brake calipers, rotors, master cylinder, and brake booster are all available, inspected for safety and function.
Let’s Be Fair Dinkum: What Parts Aren’t Available?
At WA Auto Parts, we’re all about transparency. We want you to know exactly what you’re getting, and part of that is being honest about what we don’t sell from a wrecked vehicle, primarily for safety and quality reasons.
- Deployed Airbags & Seatbelts: If any safety restraint systems like airbags or seatbelt pre-tensioners have been deployed in an accident, they are never re-sold. Your safety is our number one priority.
- High-Wear Consumables: Items like brake pads, oil filters, and windscreen wipers are considered service items and should always be replaced with new parts.
- Used Batteries: A car battery has a finite lifespan, and selling a used one is a false economy. We always recommend a new battery for reliability.
- Heavily Worn Tyres: While the wheels are for sale, if the tyres are below the legal tread depth or show signs of damage, we won’t sell them for on-road use.
The Big Question: What’s the Damage to the Wallet?
This is the best part. Choosing quality used parts from WA Auto Parts isn’t just good for your ute; it’s brilliant for your bank account. You can genuinely expect to save anywhere from 50% to 70% compared to the sky-high prices of brand-new parts from a dealership.
Let’s break it down:
- Small Fixes (switches, handles, interior lights): These parts will cost you a fraction of the new price, making it affordable to fix all those little annoyances you’ve been living with.
- Mid-Range Components (alternators, starter motors, mirrors, headlights): This is where you’ll feel a significant difference. You could save hundreds of dollars on a single component.
- Major Units (engine, transmission, tub, doors): Here lies the most substantial savings. Opting for a used major component can literally be the difference between getting your Ranger back on the road or sending it to the scrap heap. We’re talking potential savings in the thousands.
