Salvage yards in Stoke ?

mrk · 5 May 2007 at 18:07

After being let down by my local I'm gonna be on Stoke til Sunday night so wondered if anyone knew of any yards on nearby on a Sunday? I'm after a set of clear rear clusters for e46 saloon, the local yard had a perfect set and I was quoted £60+vat for a set of facelift ones only to be told £105 when I got there and spent ages getting them off....

Cheers!

There's a place behind PF Auto's in Kidsgrove, you could try there. Can't remember if it's open on a Sunday though, used to be!

Yeah

Only use them if you are desperate because they are expensive and they are a bunch of muppets.

Who you want are F Mcguinness and Sons Ltd. They are easy to spot a short way up from Stoke just off from the A500. All laid out like a huge car park.

But its full of old cars (95% pre 96), they only have a few new cars right up the top.

MY favourite yard, staff are genrally helpfull and prices are good (most bits i buy are a "couple of quid")

Thats the one I was thinking of. Just off the A500 signposted Tunstall, and just by the BP there on the roundabout.

Well thanks dudes! but I could not find what I was after and a new issue has come up!

The indicator to the right of the ABS indicator came on during the drive to stoke, the manuals are at home so I can only assume the brake pads are wearing thin? just what I need
