trip to matt blacks

[JD]

well first off, what an operation!!! its massive and ful to the brim with parts!! saw a ph1 vee as well which was nice.

we had a bit of a mess around getting to his actual breakers yard (to source a 172 rear bumper) as my sat nav (bruce the aussie) and jordans, seemed to think the route led us down a footpath, and with the cars as low as they are (and the fact that they are cars!!!) meant it was a no go;

not a happy chappy

see, it wasnt just us misreading the directions!!

then the clever aussie showed us the route around this road block;

so about turn and we were on our way;

had fun messing around in the yard, looking at bits and bobs to buy, only ended up coming away with some interior handles (swapped my incorrect grey surround with silver handles for a blue surround) and some interior bits for jack.

saw this in the yard on a mk1;

think jordan has other photos from when we were there. will defo use them in the future when sourcing parts!! top notch!!

Lol. Same here. I'm finding more and more don't let you just wander around anymore. You have to ask them for the parts. Last time i went to one, i was told that i wasn't allowed near the cars

I beg to differ. I was polite and gave you loads of time, yet you still were unable to get back to me...

 

[briny182]

sat nav had us down some hilarious "roads" in Denmark.. we did it anyway though

any 182 engines in?

 

[geesus69]

Matt was very helpful when i spoke to him on the phone, although i feel a bit guilty as i didnt end up buying anything after all the advice he gave (was out of my budget range)

must get sick of people like me ringing up and asking the same s**t over and over :quiet:

[Greeny.]

Ive asked Matt about various things on my old valver and hes always got back to me quickly and been helpful!

why do you need a new lump mate?!

belt failure?!:dapprove:

 

[Christopher]

aye, i've used Matt too for a few bits. Never had any trouble!

lol, shouldn't be that bad actually.. it got a bit of a hammering for 2 weeks solid working in the peak district, and one day it made a bit of a tapping sound after i dropped a gear. Its on my rents drive at the minute until I decide where to take it, Renault claimed the belt must have slipped and bent all my valves, but I'd be expecting more than a slight tapping if that was the case.

Time will tell.. could end up being very expensive! I've got a 1.6 focus from work at the mo, and the slowness of it is killing me

 

[SteveC047]

LOL that post on the GT forum is classic, I would of felt a right kn0b if that was me, i would of just tried to hide.

Matt is an ace bloke I have PM him many a time and he has always got back to me straight away.

I belive I have bought a few things off him since owning my Clios.

 

[chauster]

spoke to Matt a few times now this man is spot on and honest

[RichRSi]

Cool pics, I love scrap yards!

There is a good one in Telford I went to years ago, you get to the office say what you want and are directed to massive rows of each vehicle / manufacturer. There was a burned vehicle section, commercial vehicle section and a jap section with some cars I've never even seen before.

I used to visit to get parts for my old ford, it might be sad but I regarded that as a good day out!

 

[ChorleyFM]

Jees what happened to that MK3?

 

[cat171]

Any pics of the vee ? ( I take it that it was smashed up ?)
