Who designed them?

'cos they're crap.

I've just done a swap of ours *again* - although this time, I've
stripped and cleaned an old one to re-use.

It's a bit noisy, but it'll do for now....

Don't think so.

Well, not according to the ones I've seen on Ebay anyway.

Shame - it's been sat unused in a box for 18 months!

How much do you want to pay for one?

Is it worth me ripping it off the 156 I am ashamed to say is still sitting
outside my workplace?

Don't suppose you could take a photo of it from both sides, could you?

I can't see why they'd be different, to be honest - might be something
to do with linkages, but they're easily swapped.

The usual rate is £20 incl. delivery from the breakers, so may or may
not be worth you doing it.....

Where is your workplace, anyway? - just wondering if I ever come close
enough to butcher any useful bits ;-)

Yeah, can do - will have to dig it out of loft first though, let me know if
you decide to go for Rick's one first! (I had a painful experience with a
falling loft hatch last week!)

Darwen, Lancs. A good distance from you IIRC.

I am on the brink of putting it on Ebay, I just can't be arsed with it
'turning into one', the place is full of dickheads.
I have made a bit of room at work so as the weather perks up I might pull it
into bits and sell the rest scrap.

A local mechanic has shown an interest but is umming and ahhing at £500, the
tight *******.

Ahh, OK.

Closest I ever get is Cheadle in Staffs.
