It an unwillingness. I have a great relationship with my parts manager and he gets me whatever I need but I gather the euro catalogue is different and a bit more complex and without the full vin to the car its easy to order the wrong part so a lot of dealers claim ignorance to avoid the headache. We discussed it one day but I do not remember all the details.
