| Any recommended specialist breakers ? |
|
Can anyone recommend any specialist breakers, if such exist, for major mechanical parts ?
I have a scruffy '05 auto 120,000m which I'm considering yet again whether to retain & "invest" in future repairs (and suffer 2+ UKLEZ charges a week) or take the depreciation hit of buying a 2016 euroclass 6 D4.
I'm fine with the routine ££ costs - servicing, tyres, brakes etc, but would like to check used warranted prices if any major £££££ component needs replacing.

As both above GoS are always excellent for quality of goods and speed of shipping
I also have https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/bajcc17 in my watch list but they are more FF than D3
