There's a huge scrap yard called Auto Breakers at Ballysheedy Cross. They would be worth a try.

It's like a supermarket of spare parts.

I've always found online cheaper. Half them breakers charge you the price of a new OEM piece.

If you know your prices you'll do ok in a scrappie.

How much for this actuator? €50. They are €38 new - will you take €20?

yeah but isnt that just a ****ty model to have pretty much ripping unsuspecting people off and the reason people will go online.

I've got parts from autobreak before..found them excellent, can be hard to get through on the phone as they are so busy but keep trying.once you do they are very helpful. One guy sent me a picture of a part so I could be sure it was the right one and had it ready on the counter for me to pick up as I was under pressure for time. Also, take it handy driving there, very narrow road.

If Autobreak don’t have it then try Bob Sweeney’s scrap yard in Castleconnell
