Seems to still be there on Google Earth. It's quite far away from the Car Breaking Site, so probably not visible whilst your there.

Home again now time to repair the Panda.

Here's the last few pictures 

A 1.9d Zx estate @Six-cylinder , @Mrs6C

Lots of Saabage

C3 pluriel nestled with a BX, Xm and Ax.

Renault 21 I think?

We could do with the rear brake load valve from that.

A Renault 21! I’m surprised it’s still in there, the parts off it must rarely get requested?

I think you should bring it all back 'just in case'

Bugger, I could have done with the reflector off the back of that convertible one! 

[sierraman]

I’m imagining them double taking if someone came in and asked for an indicator unit for a 1987 Renault 21, a bit like those JR Hartley ads.

I wasn't sure if you still needed it, but I couldn't remember how it came apart.

This place in spain lists a brand new BOSCH one for 100€

I have bought the valve listed for a Peugeot that looks the same and my favourite garage have the car in the hope they can use the original rod etc fitted to the new valve. If that does not work ordering one from Spain may be the answer.

The part number for the Bosch one transfers over directly to the citroen part number listed for Zx estate only.

Yes, but the rumour is the value is used in several vehicles but with different mechanisms .

I presses "buy it" for the link you sent me and it says out of stock.

Well, we discussed moderns being shite and that to me looked to be the most sensible car in the car park!

I have similar conversations everyday you are one of the few that joined in lol  a lot of people just walk away   , Nice to see the photos i don't get chance to go down the yard much 

[ruffgeezer]

How long have you been there then if you don't mind me asking?  I know I've spotted the car a few times but don't recall having seen you in the shop.

I reckon I've been going there about 20 years and I'm almost certain it was Graham who served me the one of the first times we went - we bought a steering column for a Citroen Ax to cut up for the ignition switch wiring.

About 5 years  i am not always in the stores  , I am either in the office doing the ebay or in the workshop stripping cars   ,  I have a Magentis as well and often go to work in that instead of the Granada
