2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Keswick Green

I was going to have a stand there, but:

a) Its not particularly cheap
b) Just moved into a new workshop
c) As its the first decent show up here, it's a bit unknown

I cant seem to find out much about and who is going to be there but worth a shot and to be honest the website looks a bit amateur but who knows.

Think I might pop along as its not far from me at all. As long as it's not

down.

If you go to a breakers yard have a good look around at the general condition of the yard.

If the yard has a sealed service (helps prevent ground water contamination) vehicles stacked neatly, parts on shelves or pallets neatly labelled then chances are everything is legitimate.

If it looks like a bombed out scrapyard, then chances are they will be infringing everything from environmental laws upwards.

In a well organised yard with well established recording procedures it would be much easier for the police to spot rogue items .

Hi Brenden,

Thanks for the advice.

I'm in Aberdeen and this breaker is Gloucestershire, CWS, does anybody know if they are any good?

Cheers

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Montalcino Red

I've not used them myself but I know some of the guys on DISCO3 have for various parts. If you want reviews perhaps ask there?

I know a few folk who have been to CWS (in Glastonbury.....) and had quite a lot of bits from there with no problems- they have gone to the yard and removed stuff themselves though.

Apparently they aren't the cheapest but not heard of any other issues.

There is a big 4x4 breakers called Thorntons in Halifax- they seem to appear on eBay a lot and always seem to be breaking crash damaged landrovers. I have no idea about their reputation though......they are somewhat closer than Glastonbury however!
