[florida brickie]

hi Charlie I'm in Barnet n London Oxford is not that far away from home I have been a member for about 6 years but with all that's happened over the last few years but I might as well be a newbie and I only have a phone

Brilliant idea especially for us cinq owners coz i never come across sportings in scrapyard and have a list as long as my arm of little things i want.

OH - how times have changed

This poor gal is awaiting adoption in an Alabama yard. At least it seems that she has company.

I have 2006 black 4 door Fiat Panda 1108cc for sale. MOT runs out on the 2nd June and needs about £400 of work to get it through (back break pads have almost gone). Has a couple of dents on drivers side front door panel and back door panel. Drives ok so can be driven away until MOT runs out. I live in London E1. Anyone interested? If not I'll scrap it.

Hi have you taken it for mot and it failed?

 

[Aldgate Steve]

Yes and it failed on breaks (and a side repeater not working). Old MOT runs until 2.6.20

Fair amount of advisories as well.

They are only updating my them around a week or so in advance so that won't get updated until nearer the expiry date

Hi, and welcome,

sorry it's under bad circumstances:hug:

where are you based..??,
I know of a few 15" FIAT sets up for grabs,

Charlie - Oxford

Pepper pot style steel wheels are another option. They will need centre trims to suit and painting silver. Folks can help if that's an option for you.

Posted on the last day of 2015..

My suspicion is they have found a solution..

Sorry to say this car yard is being whittled down

Probably have a £20m housing estate on before I see a 'complete' 500e

 

[Derbyfella]

Any fiat 500s aroundeast midlands in scrapyards or breakers that anyone knows of

 

[Kilf]

Better still East Lanc's Fiat spares 07801354177

Ring them and tell them what you want and they'll post it out to you

I use them for all my spare bits

Whts the country code for this number plz I am in South Africa

 

[rmjbn1]

@Kilf it's the UK, +44
Note that post was from 2005, things have changed a lot since then. Doesn't seem so easy to find bits in scrap yards in the UK any more.
Now I would start by searching model & "breaking" on eBay and asking the vendor if they have the part I need.

Aside from 19 years having passed since that post and the chances of the number still belonging to that person/company are slim. Most scrap yards in the UK have closed down because of Waste Management laws meaning that having dozens of rotting cars laying about leaking all sorts of nasty fluids into the ground is no longer allowed.

phoning a UK number (+44 would be the country code btw) and asking them to ship some bits to South Africa is likely to be met with a resounding NO, shipping to south Africa costing more than 3 times as much as your average fiat car here in the UK, The chances of it being a scam is high (no matter how honest you might be, they don't know you or that its not a scam) The parts actually arriving is pretty slim and there is a high likelihood of grief from the buyer all would make it totally not worth it for any seller in the UK.

Ironically I worked for a company that shipped phones to Africa and south Africa around the time that post was made, and we used to have to send double what was needed as virtually everyone who handled the package would help them selves to a phone or two.
