Default U-Pull-It

Hello

a friend told me about this place, its a scrap yard basically... with a difference.

you can buy a car off them, and strip it there. (you have to eave the shell, CAT and battery.)

you can buy car parts. they even have a "rough" price list (http://www.u-pull-it.co.uk/info.html...APartPricelist)

Website - http://www.u-pull-it.co.uk/home.html

thought it may help a few people out

Jake

That's a great idea, prices seem reasonable and it's only an hour and a half away from me!

Could be a soloution to my problems

Nice find Jake, prices seem reasonable too.

That's how my local breaker works .... You want, you fetch & low, low prices

May be dead handy for anyone up North looking for a 1.8 Zetec flywheel .... Dead easy if someone has already had the gearbox

Both miles from me, but my local breakers works pretty much on the same bases except they are not that cheep.

It helps going in there in uniform the bloke calls me ‘Sarg’ salutes and lets me go and have a look about.

Cheers Ginge

its not too bad, like i said though the price list is a really rough guide, a lot of it is the same but some stuff depends on the car its come from

for instance im after an alloy wheel for my road car (Corsa C) because i smashed it into a curb at 70mph last year and its bent the back of the wheel. but i obviously only want one, they unfortunatly only have a set which they want £150 for not the £15 for the wheel and £8 for the tyres that it says on the price list.

ohh... if anybody has one of these wheels i will be happy to take it off you're hands for some beer moneys! its the 15" 7 spoke SXI alloys

Cheers

Jake
