Bit like the beach I suppose,its there but I never use it to its full potential,not since the carparking fees anyway.
Its wet and its cold and the sand gets in my sarnies.

I am guilty of not using it very much as well. I used to use it all the time back in the 70s because of ££££. I do have a wander around every few months though just to have a look to see what I am missing.

The Yards up here are so "Ruled" you can't wander around now even with your Hard Hat, the Cars are stacked in Cages (new EU) rules, they seem more like shops with all parts on Computer & priced as well as most bits already on Shelves etc. Not so many Bargains to be had.

I have been to both Local Breakers (local meaning 15miles) and phoned our other one, and no joy for the Engine trays Im afraid. They say they just skip them soon as the cars come in! Have asked to be let know when another 75 comes in & NOT to throw it away but phone me. They say never been asked for one before, I asked price saying that as they dump them are they free? a cynical laugh then followed by we will see.

Same with the seat Pocket back Pockets, won't seperate from seats...Mean Gits!

Thanks for trying John, much appreciated.

Thanks John - amazing isn't it ... "we usually throw them away" but if you want one then they cost a premium!

Thanks for trying though, much appreciated, I will try the breakers Ken pointed out some time this week and we will see!

Just like to add a point...

Found out that Landrover removed the under tray from the Freelander to let the engine breath,
Because it was one of the reasons why it got a bit hot, then started eating coolant and oil,

You should of said you could of had my under tray from my old car! lol

Its still there, perhaps I should go up there under the cover of darkness then sell it to Christopher for lots of money due to it being rare?

No-one would notice it was gone I can tell you .... I'll just wait until Ken is busy polishing his chrome grille and will nick his!!!

TuT, Tut, all you Directors, LOL
Good Idea though, loads of them in Airport "Secure" Car Parks.

*Secure = Dummy camera Coverage 24 Hours a day and security when not watching TV!!!
