Blood 'ell. Not got enough engines as it is?

I'm sure you could cobble up a nice SV based V6 out of spares already.

Personally I never have much luck with the sit-and-wait-for-an-answer multi breaker guys. Mind you I'm talking about usually car bits here.

They do tend to be pretty rubbish, but I really can't be bothered to phone around just now As for satisfying my engine fetish, you'd better lock yours up securely...

But when you consider you are buying salvage bits, they are bloody expensive.

I used PartFinder a couple of weeks ago. No complaints, someone phoned up with the bit I wanted and wanted half the price of the local breakers.

Phoned them from work so I didnt even have to pay for the call.

I found a lot of breaker searches are a scam for money making - they won't process your search without you texting their service to validate the search etc. @50p + normal text rate, its a bit of a racket I think

I phone 'em TBH
