Need to get a new front fog lamp for Barney. Looked around on fleabay but can't find anything so though some of you may know of any breakers around the area?

I thought there was a mah00sive one in Colchester, somewhere around the Whitehall Road industrial area?

There are three off the A12 near Galleywood. I'll ask my dad later for a more precise location. I tend to just drive there as its down a little unnamed road off the junction.

I thought it was stock something...
There are three close together on the same site
Stock Auto Breakers
cm2 8xb

So you just jump on the a12 and get off at the stock/a12 turn off. Turn left on the roundabout, past the petrol station on the left and look for a knackered little road turning on the left. Follow this down and turn down an even more knackered road. BIG BIG POTHOLES!!

I'll ask MtE abut the one he uses, it's vast, south Essex way. Take your own tools type place.

Sounds like the stock breakers. Its great fun being two cars up with each balancing on the roof, attempting to remove/rip out the dash from a knackered polo and praying each time there is a creak. Great memories :D

Stock breakers for the win. They have around 4 breakers on the one site so it's perfect for a good look around.
Brings back memorys for me that does as i used to know some of the dudes up there.

From your end head to Witham & get on the A12. Once on the A12 look out for the Stock exit. Once you Exit just follow the road through the trees to a garage(if still there) then do a left & go SLOW down the road as it's designed to rip the crap out your motor so you need more spares ;D

The stock ones get my vote too :)

Although I've had many an arguement about over-pricedness before!

That place seems familiar :D

If you need me to pop along Jim to save the journey, let me know.

Which side and what are the details of the car, I know its an X reg. I may be able to get one and post it if there isn't anything close.
