Well me and scott were at the breakers on saturday and saw this. Yep two rows of VWs...mostly golfs. Best bit was there was much more in there other yard.
didnt think there was many PDs in the scrap yard?
Your move!

Oh man
Wish we had yards like that around here
RE: FAO Toms306 - I thought VWs were reliable? - Niall - 29-10-2012
Its great. Its absolutely huge. Most cars in the main yard seem to be bog spec but you can rip them to pieces for anything you need. they also have another yard which they walk around and check what you want before your allowed it. Much much newer nicer cars in there though

There was more french there but most of them were crash damage. Look down that line of golfs and not many are crash damaged!
RE: FAO Toms306 - I thought VWs were reliable? - Toms306 - 29-10-2012
Haha, they're all 1.4/1.6s!
Probably. 
But I agree with swampy lucky to ever see a derv Golf in scrappys round here!
Not that it matters now lol.

My local is chocca-bloc with Citroen Picassos and Pug 206s
may have to see if they have any gti6s in for some parts scavenging...
RE: FAO Toms306 - I thought VWs were reliable? - Toms306 - 29-10-2012
This was the extent of Mk4s in the massive Colchester scrappy when i needed a turbo....just a few shitty pov spec petrols!

That poor caddy van :-(
RE: FAO Toms306 - I thought VWs were reliable? - C.A.R. - 29-10-2012
GFs dad has a '12 plate caddy, it's actually an amazing place to be, unlike his old transit!
I digress.
Point being, there aren't many mkiv's in scrapyards because people know there are mugs out there who would pay loads of money for the simplest of parts :p
RE: FAO Toms306 - I thought VWs were reliable? - Toms306 - 29-10-2012
I'll be honest, I'm surprised how much money there is in breaking a good spec mk4 tbh (hence only having the shit ones in scrappys!)...I mean I've passed a grand today in my breaking fund and the interior is mostly being stored until I can be arsed to make more ebay ads, there are still most of the body panels left and I have a couple more big bits like the gearbox to go!
Not looking so difficult to hit my £1500 target now tbh!
RE: FAO Toms306 - I thought VWs were reliable? - swampy - 29-10-2012
We don't have any around here you can look around.
You have to phone up ask for a part, if they have it they tell you when it will be off the car ready for collection
Love going to furbers at child's ercall and Prees Heath when im back at the folks though I'm hoping the cars I have now wont need many parts
Yeah tight I own a 406 coupe and an Alfa Romeo!!!
RE: FAO Toms306 - I thought VWs were reliable? - Niall - 29-10-2012
Im lucky that its only just down the road for me. TBH im supprised it is still open. The yard in that photo is ok but one of the other yards, there all piled up close to each other. been in some of the top ones with it wobbling all over the place!

You need to show me this some time...
RE: FAO Toms306 - I thought VWs were reliable? - Niall - 29-10-2012
Poodle come up and we will have a OC outing to bridges haha
RE: FAO Toms306 - I thought VWs were reliable? - Jonny81191 - 29-10-2012
Next year's FCS, if it's the same place, a few of us are going to raid the scrappy there. Really cheap and well sorted! And full of XUD's!
RE: FAO Toms306 - I thought VWs were reliable? - Poodle - 29-10-2012
Sounds like a plan Niall, see how much i can dig out.
