I went to one the other day looking for a motor for my driver's door electric window, there I was balanced 3 cars high taking a door apart only for it to be the wrong motor, turns out there is a difference between and 3 and 5 door motor for a Ford Fiesta, next came the biggest stroke of luck ever.....
We had been told the car I looked at was the only Mk6 fiesta, then as we were leaving I saw a 3 door (again 3 cars up). I climbed up, opened the door and it had been totally stripped, my heart sank, then I looked in the driver's footwell and there it was, a motor, nothing else, just the motor I needed! What's the chances? £20....... bargain!
It's on the car and works perfectly, love a scrappy!
Sounds a fairytale!
- A scrapyard that still lets you hunt around
- Finding the one part you needed, right there (while everything else was gone), extracted, on the floor.
Hopefully you bought a lottery ticket that evening too?
