Scrapyard request

Oct 31, 2005 11 Replies

Does anyone here go to scrapyards? If so could you look out for some brake calipers from a Volvo 400 (440, 460 or 480) with vented discs. I'm having huge problems locating a pair! Will obviously reimburse you for them, plus the postage, plus some beer tokens!


it's wet, there will be more than reimbursement needed I shall keep my eyes and feet peeled

we have 2 breakers buy our proper s*it s*it at work, i'll ask them if they come by this week ;)

How far are you from Salisbury / Andover / Stockbridge? There is Richard Noons, just off the A30 near Lipcombe Corner. I can't remember his phone number off the top of my head, but he is a "proper" scrap yard, where you can still crawl over the cars and take the bits off yourself. I'm pretty sure he had some 400 series Volvos in the last time I was there (which TBH was a couple of months ago). He's really helpful and good prices as well, so worth a call...

Certainly within a saturday morning drive distance!! I'll find the number and give him a call. The problem is that even if he does have some 400s, chances are they wont have the brakes I need.

But thanks, and thanks to dojj and Vamp too!

I've just remembered, my cousin has recently (as in the last month) sold a

480 turbo thing rotten as hell, with a months ticket on it at most left I'll ask him tomorrow

Bobbing home this weekend, i'll run up to the village scrappy if you like (its not /that/ small)? Catch me on MSN and drop me your moby number, and i'll phone/send pic text of what i find.

OK guys, forget that request for the time being. If you happen to be in a scrappie then feel free to take a look for me, but there's something else in the pipeline at the moment.

Is it the only scrapyard in the village?

They're for an upgrade, without some old ones to exchange there's usually a large surcharge.

Yep, they're double the price. Plus is an experimental upgrade so dont even know they're gonna fit yet!!
