Considering all Manchester numbers are now 0161 not 061, have you tried 0161 682 1415? Also, the Reading number is 0118 987 6444 (from http://www.tradenet.sharp.co.uk/tech/fromcorp.asp?ID=56667).

Please try those numbers and let us know if they work.

Oh & there is also an entry for WillowVale (NOTE: NO SPACE !) in the database (their sales order line). If that no longer works, please let us know.

There are a few easy clues being missed here.

Click on the website www.willowvale.co.uk and it forwards to www.connect-distribution.co.uk which is Connect Distribution Services Limited. A search of the database for willowvale (no space) reveals the entry jgxenite refers to and it also mentions the aforementioned company.

Indeed, type in connect distribution and you are presented with several entries.

The about page for Willowvale Electronics says:

Yes I did try the new codes for the said regions and they draw a blank. I eventually phone the 0870 number and they no longer carry the spare part I am after. Thanks everyone

Perhaps they are now out of service because the company was aquired by Connect Distribution and moved to Birmingham. Those numbers 061, 0734 and 0602 were obviously pre-April 1995 as that was when all STD codes were changed to 01.
