Exclamation Help me fix a bump! 240 bits needed

Hi all,
Recently had a deer induced accident in my 240 (1988 GL) and someone pointed me in this forums direction. Im after a steering/track rod (drivers side) as mine snapped in the crash.. any way thats the emergency bit to get me back on the road, a new front bumper and lower valance would be nice too...

Anyway i'm based in Dorset but will travel/pay for postage and as said am in a hurry to get the car going again!!

Thanks in advance

Joe

As HJ says Braydons are a good bet:

http://www.braydonmotors.co.uk/

also these guys,

http://www.gsfcarparts.com/

Got my track-rods from the latter in 06'. think I paid £8 each. They also supplied a ball-joint separater tool for less than a tenner

good luck

Hi all,
Forgot I posted this, so thanks for the replys... I managed to pick up a complete 240 torslander estate for not a lot so I currently have the option of using it as a spares car or if its running problem is easily fixed using it to chase parts and tootle about in for a while!
