Ls400 Breaking

[Jackdaniels]

I found a breakers yard with a Mk4 LS400 breaking and i need a few bits of trim but was wondering is there any parts i should get while im there that are common problem parts to get hold of. I was thinking maybe the bonnet struts? Also how does it work do i ask for the parts and they take them out for me or am i expected to get the off the car? Can you do a deal or are the prices fixed?

Any help would be great for a novice.

Hi JD

Breakers are usually quite happy to take the parts off for you (for a modest back hander) and as all prices are generally negotiable, they will almost certainly expect you to haggle.

I bought a black Mk4 a couple a weeks ago and need a pair of bonnet struts and a n/s door mirror (if the superglue doesn't work) ;)

I'm a newbie here and assume that you can PM me or send an email with your telephone number to discuss price etc.

Thanks

Rod

Hi could you let me know where the breakers is or we could go together, the more parts bought the more the price comes down Im also handy with the spanners. ta Mark

Sorry for the late reply guys was super busy at work. Went today and the guy i dealt with was really helpful. The bonnet struts had unfortunately already been sold, he did it for £30 for the pair. I was gutted!

The car is pretty much taken apart now and i managed to salvage a few bits of trim for my car but not much else. He is based in Gillingham link to the auction:
