Parts wish list

[Blue406]

Thinking about a trip to the scrap yard next weekend.
Does anyone have interior or exterior parts they need?

State the colour (if applicable) and D8 or D9.
Will see what I can do.

On the list:

Silver interior door handles (Set of 4) x2
Sunblind clips - the ones that slide in from the side
Wheel arch access panel (O/S Front)
Chrome dial rings

Would love some of the chromed interior door handles. Some white dials would be good too, if there are any (though I'd guess not).

[Blue406]

I've defo seen white dials, for a later D9, multiplexed car.
They want £30 for a set of dials though. Not sure I can stretch to that.

Silver handles, seen those. Added to my list!

[highlander]

Hmm. Is it possible to replace just the dials, without actually replacing the instrumentation (the moving parts and electronic bits)? i.e. remove the white bits from the clocks and put them in place of the black bits in my existing clocks?

I have an early D9, so I doubt any of the white dials would be a straight swap.

If it is possible to put the white dial faces into my existing clocks (without a degree in astrophysics), I'd go for it - and of course, I'd pay you the full £30 for the white dials. I'd been expecting to pay you for the door handles anyway

His trips to the scrappy are legendary

I think that he's secretly building his own hybrid invention; something kinda like a 406 coupe estate

get yourself up here Steve, only a few hours drive and chocka with scrappies, bet they are cheap too compared to what you have over there. Once its fitted they will never know your importing anything, you would just be driving home

a mere 1000km according to google maps

RE: White dials.

Having had a set apart, the white bit is just a bit of semi opaque flexible plastic.
On the D8 and early D9s, there the dials simply lift out as one piece. The actuators, needles and faces, all attached to an acrylic board.
Non compatible I'm afraid (I know, I tried!)

Since when was 1,000km "a few hours drive" Interesting though, the only breakers I've found here are chock full of Yugos and Renault 4s, I know there is a French car breakers but they're up the other end of the country. The rest are private individuals who consider a car to be worth less than the sum of its parts How I envy those guys back in Blighty with access to ebay (without hidious import charges) and endless scrappies AH, them were the days, walking out with half a VW in the old toolbag

Would you get slapped with import if I were to, say, send a wing mirror or badge to you?
