    Haven't heard of them before.

    Those pics look like they were 'borrowed' from another site - the Merc is UK reg and the secretary's phone is ancient :D

    They are a typical breakers yard, down a series of lanes in the back of beyond. I went in looking for some parts on my way back from the Olympus Diagnostics factory, but everything is behind a high wall and they weren't in a chatty mood the day I was there. The website is obviously either from a christmas cracker or out of a lucky-bag but I'm sure its the height of cool in Tulla....

    Anyways, whatcha lookin' for??

    I'm not really looking for anything in the immediate future I just like to know who's out there. A breaker near Tallow Bridge has a 190 at the moment and I know of a couple of big UK merc breakers.

    It just happens I have a petrol manual '86 190 which is surplus to requirement, in fact I was going to use it to try and learn to drive on two wheels (like my hero Russ Swift) but I can't figure how to lock the diff so if ya want it (or any of its vital organs) let me know...

    mike65,

    There is/was a Merc specialist/breaker in Co.Kilkenny (Callan, I think?) called Edward 'Ned' Kelly. Have you heard of him?

    'ceptor feel free to PM me with a full spec and colour/trim/wheels details :)
    I take it its a 2.0e engine, the 1.8 was later and the 2.6 hardly sold here.

    Silvera I hav'nt heard of Ned Kelly though I know Callan a bit, the next time I'm there I'll ask at the garage on the main street.

    Mike.
