Parked up for a run a couple of weeks ago, walked away from my lovely little red jimny and bang!!!! So silly bat had parked and left her handbrake off, her car rolled down and slammed into my back door. I have just been told its possibly uneconomical to salvage. I am so unhappy because I love this car, am not materialistic, do not want another new one just want my old jimny.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

There are breakers brokers on the web - you say what you're looking for, they broadcast it around the spares/breakers, then you get emails from those who have what you're looking for, with prices, etc.
If I could remember the name of the one I used, I'll tell you!
Google the part you're looking for - that'll bring up such organisations. That's how I found the one I used.
Wabo, we had a similar problem with an elderly but much loved Renault 5 - the insurance company let us keep the car and we got the panels etc we needed from a breakers and our friendly garage man fixed her.
That was about 5 years ago and she is still a joy to drive.
My beloved N reg Fiesta was written off 8 weeks ago and I was completely devastated. I've got a shiny new car now but I'd give anything to have my old one back. Insurance company only gave me £247 for it as well...buggers.
I'm in for a fair amount of compensation though so I look forwards to that.
A friend had her car reversed into, denting the door. The insurance company said they'd give her £800 and let her keep the car. The door cost £150 to fix so she was in profit!
