Most scrap yards have turned into 2nd hand parts dealers.. You're not allowed in the yard because you might break a nail or some other risk assessment nonsense
You can still wander round the the two I know of. I think they just prefer an easy life and just crush what the punters don't pick off. Turnaround time is only about two weeks now, so you have to be lucky to find the car you need.
I remember when you could crawl around in cars stacked 3 or 4 high. You always had to remove the parts yourself and the cars would hang around for months on end
I know of one that still lets you remove the parts yourself. I prefer that way as you get to see how to remove it. You will likely also take more care removing a part you need yourself.
You would be unlikely to find a Series Land Rover in one nowadays. They do sometimes have Discoverys or P38/L322 Range Rovers.
Yea, the good ones are few and far between. Of two closest to me one deals only in Fords and they will let you look around, the other, which was once good now only sell the major parts. To trade only !
