why do these people never put an ad on the respective websites, for 800 or mg or whatever and say what they've got, price it cheap to see it gone and make a few quid quicker, they always just let it go for scrap and give up.

you mean like Dave dollysprint has done, yet i believe apart from a few asking for mats he still has not had much response.

Brad did the same when he sold up and a lot of parts got scrapped then so before long if people dont grab these parts and store them they will be seriously hard to find if at all and will result in more cars going to the scrap man

I did the same when I sold up too. Sometimes you need to just get on and can't hang around.

The last of my stuff is being sold with that Vitesse in the other thread recently though it's nothing to do with me now as I wanted rid at the time.

It's Sods Law - you don't need anything now but the day after all the stuff has gone you need one of the 326 identical obscure parts they just binned!

Shame yet another supplier has gone down the pan though.

I think some of the parts that these `professional` breakers advertised are a bit strong.

I was quoted £50 plus postage for a door mirror, it wasn't even in the right colour.

Plenty of others on ebay under 20 notes but not for a coupe :(

so I adapted one using the original coupe mounting plate :)

Some time back, Rimmers were flogging coupé door mirrors (complete except back-shell which is easy to swap anyway) for about £33 each. I didn't need any then as i didn't have a coupé else i would probably have bought a pair just in case.
Puts things in perspective when breakers want more than the genuine new article costs! Had similar with my first 820 which was one of the original D reg models with the PAS pump driven off the inlet camshaft. The pulleys had a habit of stripping the centre hole resulting in no drive to the PAS pump. A new one was £8 from Mann Egerton in Southampton yet a nearby breaker wanted £30 for the same pulley!

There's a breaker that seems to always advertise on ebay and some of their prices are in cloud cuckoo land as well - this is the one i'm on about although their prices seem to have improved somewhat lately!

As for adapting a normal mirror using the coupé mounting plate - well done that man! Nice to know it can be done! :wink: :D

Dave

I remember going into my local rover dealer back in the 1990`s to buy the mirror glass
that some idiot broke when he decided he was gonna drive up the middle of the road one day.

£38 :shock:

Good job the rest of the mirror was ok, god knows how much a complete unit would have been back then :(

I think once Rimmers had their flash sale the mirrors went back up to a three figure sum - £138 rings a bell for some reason but i could well be wrong. No doubt that's how much they were back in the 90s as well as i think Rimmers still use Rovers parts list from the most expensive time! :roll: :wink: :lol:

I thought Rimmers policy was to charge the original dealer spare part price or Xpart price.

That's pretty much the same as i said above i think Tom! :wink: :lol:

Joking aside, i think the original dealer price or X-Part price were one and the same and as X-Part is the new word for Unipart which was the dealer parts network i suspect the same prices apply. also when X-Part were hived off by Caterpillar i think they just used the last price list they had in collaboration with Rimmers. I'm sure there's some sort of cartel going on there but probably not possible to prove it.
Cheers,
Dave
