Want to try and get hold of the cigarette lighter part for a corsa B so thinking of trying a scrappie, is there any fairly local to Oxford?

Robbo i agree for choice and freedom Haynes is great but some of the cars condition is worse for wear...dont go looking for panels
Sutton Wick (Drayton) do charge and make it up on the spot. charged me £20 for a headlight cluster for a Corsa B and £5 for a clock out of a Nova. they stamp it and give reciept to allow for returns but the chap there did annoy me just instantly thought i was stealing stuff (ok so i had some Nova switches in my pocket but still inoccent until proven guilty doesnt apply with him!)
younger chap is wicked. helped me out and even lent me a large screwdriver when the tools i took with me on one occation werent man enough.
the yard isnt tidy but when is a car yard? its well organised and the cars all in good condition other than a smash in the front/rear or side or just come to the end of their life.
