Wondering if anyone can recommend a good breakers yard in the UK? Have been using FAB but their postage is extortionate and I need a large part now.
Or alternatively if you are breaking an e39 I'm after the rear subframe?
Thanks,
Ross

Cheers man. We only have 1 small scrap yard over here, and with no MOT's, you rarely get a car under 20 years old in there!

FAB's prices are extortion too!ross_jsy wrote:Wondering if anyone can recommend a good breakers yard in the UK? Have been using FAB but their postage is extortionate and I need a large part now.

I had a subframe from a 530D Touring, but now sold
I still have the prop if you need it

Anyone you could recommend?
Shouldn't need the prop, although after everything I have been through repairing it I'll no doubt find that is somehow shagged too

If you could mate.
I'm unsure on the postage front. I've had stuff from the UK that hasn't attracted any premium, and other times I've had to pay massively over the odds. Think it's a case of if they fancy being honest or seeing Channel Islands and ££££

Cheers will give them a go.
Fab quoted me £120 including VAT and postage....till I mentioned I was from Jersey and they wanted an extra £75 for the privilege. Christ, had a diesel Golf lump sent over for £120!

Not having much luck here! ASWR while really helpful and offering it for £92 posted then phoned back to say it turns out they only have the touring model in stock, which has air suspension.
Can't get hold of Jason's friend, but will try again tomorrow and LK spares won't post to Jersey.
Bastard car.
