Does someone here know if it is possible to buy spare parts for the DA*55/1.4? I need a new focus motor

I think in most markets, Pentax parts aren't available to the general public, only to authorised agents/repairers. In Norway, try https://www.camera.no or https://fovi.no/pressemeldinger/service.

Alternatively, if you can find a badly damaged copy being sold for parts, you could try it yourself.

When my 18-250mm's focus motor failed in 2015, it had to be sent to Sweden to be diagnosed, and - if possible - repaired. It took three months, and I ended up buying a second 18-250mm from KEH. So now I have two, and very happy I am with them. I think you're going to have to turn your *55mm in for repair.

I heard from a guy doing repairs that this type of repairs has to be done at official Pentax repairers. The reason for this is that Pentax has several different ultrasonic motors for each lens and if the new motor is different than the old one, the new one has some parameters that has to be programmed into the lens. And you need special programming equipment and knowledge of the parameters.
