Car breakers around Central Scotland area?

[a11y_m]

I'm trying to locate a few bits for my Z4 but having trouble locating a breakers yard that actually has a Z4 in their hands. I know they're not the most common cars but they're not exactly that rare either. And given the weather and some of the driving "skillz" I've observed among owners, surely there must be some that've been speaking too closely to the scenery...


Can we compile a list of decent breakers yards (with locations) with higher chances of less common cars?


Cheers
Ally


(alternatively, has anyone come across a Z4 recently in a breaker's yard?!)

Ebay is usually pretty good if you cant find one locally.

I've had searches set up on ebay for the past few months but not had any success - the bits I'm after are usually stripped off by the time they appear on ebay. Good suggestion though.

AllParts in bonnybridge has all sorts of cars in usually.

They even have a few tanks.

Birnams in Blantyre is good.

+1 on that, this is my usual haunt if I need something quickly from a breaker.
Helps having a run of the mill Mk4 Vauxhall Astra too - there's always loads kicking about

Ooo, just reminded me of a site my Dad uses: http://www.breakeryard.com/
He's used them a fair few times and seems to trust the sellers on there.

Thanks for the suggestions folks but keep them coming. I'll certainly be contacting them. It's not urgent stuff I'm after, just bits and pieces I'd like for a few projects I have in mind.

I'd actually stumbled across the breakersyard site before and submitted a few requests but no joy, but the other site is new to me.
