    Thats the not so good side of people coming across stuff on e-bay. Increases demand and makes the breakers think they can get the prices. I had already spoken to them about alternators, starter motors and screen wash bottles. They wanted £80 each for the items so said no thanks other than for the screen wash bottle which costs around £150 so got that.

    I already have a spare but have bought this one as a club bottle for members to use in case of emergencies to get your car back on the road if you suffer from a mild front ender. We will expect the bottle to be replaced but means you will not have to wait while x-part etc look for a replacement stopping the car from being repaired. We are only going to do this for small unque items like the bottle.

    Did you ask what they wanted for the rear discs BTW ?
    They obviously know how rare some of the parts are!

    As for the that car's demise, well it was only another black one

    Did you manage to find out the VIN Tim?

    Forgot to ask. Asking for £80 each set me back. Actually told them we had been selling alternators for around £50 did not make him drop his prices as he knows people will pay that sort of price. The car was a right off due to the off side rear going into a lamp post. Did tell him if he gets stuck with anything to bell me but will not be paying those sort of prices. Also mentioned the 4.2 was wrong. Nice enough chaps though, they paid £1500 for the car.

    What fantastic service to offer and a truly great idea.
