Just wanted to share my positive experience with 247spares http://www.247spares.co.uk/ for anyone looking for used/new parts.

Service is very professional, you enter into the system what part you are looking for and in my case had a response back within 3 or 4 days with the requested part for a very reasonable price (from a breaker).

I'm in no way related to this service/site, just wanted to share a positive experience

Thanks for that Ron_XC90...I looked at their site the other week - after a replacement mirror housing, but stopped inputting my request before the end, in case it generated loads of calls from loads of breakers (been there before !)

When you say the price was 'very reasonable' can you share what & for how much. My dealer has quoted between £200-£300 for a replacement mirror housing.

Hi Harvey, I was looking for a spacesaver wheel which I couldn't find anywhere at the usual places (here/ebay/etc). Within 4 days after posting I received a quote via email from a breaker for 50 + 12 P&P. I phoned them back Yesterday and payment can be made via creditcard so should be virtually risk free.
They posted the wheel today so should get it Monday. There is a 30 day return option should the wheel not be as described. People on the phone were very helpfull and went to double check that it was the correct wheel size.

I would certainly give them a try
