| failed at its mot on sat, it needs some gas canister things, tracking and a couple of other bits... butttt it needs new headlights.  doesn't sound too bad, but they are a full unit and the price for them is £360  So if anybody knows anywhere that may have some headlights, second hand for a 1997 honda civic 1.4i for significantly less please let us know, we have tried local scrappies, ebay etc and nothing. We will have to scrap the car if we cant get them cheaper cos we dont have £400 and we didnt even pay that for the car =o( x |

| ty!
i think we are safe, my oh found a website you register with and it emails all the scrapyards in the country and whoever has got one will reply and tell you how much and how much to post and so far we have 3 emails from them!
The first one wants £192 but the second has asked for £72 for the pair so hopefully we can get them quickly so we can get all repairs done before saturday and get our free retest lol

| Do you have a local autowrecker place? Cars that have been totaled in accidents but have good parts that they will sell to you for cheap? It's like a grave yard for cars, and kinda creepy. xxx |
