Went to scrappy today...........

[dubslug]

rich which scrap yard do u use as i need some bits but mine are empty in good old basingstoke

[richandhazel]

I go to Aldershot car spares. Its a very modern 'european legislation' scrap yard where every car is on computer and they are properly stacked on huge racks. When you need a part from particular car they fork lift it down to an area where you are allowed to work on it. I can nearly always get what I want from there at a good price. Failing that there is another scrap yards 100yds further down the road which is more conventional and there are quite a few mk2 16V's in there with engines manifold's gearbox's everything still intact! The guy in there is very friendly and let me have my gearshift gaitor for free If there is still no joy in that one there is another one about a mile away called Normandy car spares
So with three to chose from it's usually worth a trip down there to see whats new. I always pop in when passing

Need to get some new switches and stuff for my mark 3

I know the one your talking about, all the cars are in model order and its nicely concreted so you don't drop that mucn needed bolt in a deep murky puddle!!!
