Slightly OT: Part-Supplier Reccomendation

I imagine the following website could have a variety of reviews, because basically they contact loads of breakers yards for rare parts you may have trouble yourself driving about;

I had a pretty good exerience with 'Rotherham Spares', who contacted me after I put in a request for a rather rare switch, for a very old Honda, that seemed impossible to get hold of anywhere in Lanarkshire.

Worked out pretty good price-wise too, just thought I'd give it a mention if anybody is peeved off with trawling about car breakers, like I was. Spent enough on petrol trying to find the god-damn switch, so I was glad of an alternative.

Quite hard to find decent parts websites whilst googling I found.

Hope it helps someone,

Dave.

I used that the other day to get left and right drive shafts for a Cit ZX. Got replies in 20 minutes from posting, end result was £44 for the pair including P&P. They arrived next day and look fine and dandy.

The yard themselves were a bit...typical...but polite enough; I imagine the payment by credit-card over phone is done via the actual 247spares.co.uk website, with their chunk of it going into a paypal account or something. I was wondering at first how they were going to take payment.

Ebay's a bit useless sometimes for very specific uncommon car items. Hope it's of use to someone.

who do the same thing. Last time, I had three calls within ten minutes of placing the request, the second of which supplied me with a Previa power steering pump at what I considered a ludicrously low price (compared with the others!, and with new).
