Wow, nasty and glad it didn't cause an off.

Totally agree with taking the hard line with salvage yards. If you have any near you, don't phone them again. Go in person with £300 in your wallet and tell them that that is all you are willing to pay as they are just not selling at the higher prices. The prospect of £300 cash over having something taking up space with no guarantee of selling usually means you can get the deal.

Good luck!
