    LR Repairers closing down

    First Guest and Puddy and now Brit Parts in Welshpool.

    Brit Parts havn't advertised a closing down sale but apparently they are shutting up shop around the the end of the year.

    Alf Barbagallo must be laughing his ass off.

    Was in there today - apparently they're closing on 21 Dec 07. I was told John and Bev(?) are retiring and rather than go through the hassle of recruiting new staff the decision has been made that it's time to stop. A shame - I've been buying from them on and off for about 17 years.

    They are running down the stock quite successfully, so if you need anything better get down there.

    Guess that leaves Rovacraft in Bayswater, and perhaps Rovertech for some bits - anyone know other sources apart from Barbagallo's/Southern?

    Brit Parts closing down?

    I did hear that Rovertech had or are going to take them over entirely. I for one hope so as we're really hard up for decent workshops now and Kevins as good if not better than most.
    Long way from the northern suburbs though.

    John told me Kevin is only buying modern parts; he won't be dealing with series parts.

    One of the problems (if it indeed it was one) was that they didn't seem to advertise very widely. It took me ages to find out that they sold series parts. At the el-cheapo prices they used to have, surely there is an opening here for someone who wants to sell at sensible prices Australia wide!
