breakersweb misleading
Just a note to say that corporate/software arrogance and ignorance has surpassed itself. I found this site whilst looking for Morris parts - they most likely couldn't even supply the right light bulb with all due respect. It's funny if you know what you're doing (just read what spares they offer), but a novice could end up with for example, a steering wheel with an airbag?

Wow!¬ Didn't realise that I had airbags! I'll drive with so much more reassurance now! And can anyone tell me at what sort of rpm does the turbo kick in?
Re: breakersweb misleading
I tried to post a comment to them under their "contact us" page, and it just gave me a "resource not found" error. So they don't know what they are talking about, and can't run a web site either. Doesn't fill me with confidence.

Re: breakersweb misleading
I used their services before, for a part for a 1970s car, nothing ever turned up. I suppose they won't really bother with cars over 10 or 15 years old, but then they shouldn't list really old cars if that's the case.
In my opinion you're better off hunting yourself and actually seeing the part with your own eyes. If it's coming off a scrap car the part will most likely be well worn. It also gives you the opportunity to haggle and take other juicy parts.

I don't think that's a 950 A series engine in there - do you?

Also the Lambo clearly has an 803cc side valve engine ;)

Re: breakersweb misleading
803's are OHV.
Re: breakersweb misleading
Wow
interesting and funny responses:)
I just hope that my ignorant jibe will at least inform newbies of a pitfall.
Newbies? Hell, I can't even find what's trying to shake my traveller to pieces!

I ordered a starting handle for an Aston Martin Vantage and I'm still waiting.
When it arrives I'll get round to finding an Aston Martin Vantage someone will give me...perhaps!
