Wrecker workers are (9 out of 10 times) w a n k e r s, why do you think they work there in the first place!
Theres a wreckers that I used to go to but dont anymore just because there rude, rip off's and half the time dont have a clue what there talking about or what I'm talking about. I got so sick of having to talk to them like they were in pre school.

Just keep searching mate, try eBay and put a thread up in the wanted section. Keep an eye out for people wrecking cars in the parts section too.
Dont resort to selling the Monty just yet!

Read your post 3 times mate, and I still can't decipher what the hell you're going on about!

wreckers in general, suck.
I wanted some XF ghia seats, they said "take them out yaself and you can have them both for $50"
So there i was, laying in 3ft dead grass at a 43 degree day for an hour trying to get the bastards out, went up, covered in and sweating like a simpson desert hooker, and the bloke goes, "good work, $120 mate"
We argued for a bit, and i ended up throwing them back in, and oops, tore a massive hole in them. Guess they wont get $60 now, :
The point: wreckers suck.

Just fords in Kilsyth are pretty good. and after i had been there a few times they started giving discounts.....parts are still expensive in my opinion...but its still cheaper than new

the 2 places you mentioned i had problems with as well...jolly rodgers from memory didnt even speak english very well when i called them. i just hang up after repeating what i wanted 3 times

good luck with the search
