    Car parts?

    Right, wasnt sure where to put this, but most of you drive, so I chose here.

    Ive got watercooling for my pc, had it a while. Ive noticed cars have just about everything needed for watercooling - heatercores, washerbottles etc..

    The shop I bought my heatercore from has closed down and I cant be arsed going round a breakers looking for what I need.

    Where can I buy new car parts online? or is there any forums people know of for cars with a for sale/trade section?

    Incase some one has the parts i need, or can think of any alternatives:

    * Car heatercore - used one cost me £10 from the closed down shop.

    * resevoir - was thinking of car washer bottle thing. needs to be smallish and sealed/designed not to leak.

    * ~big fans - for heatercore. Got one for £16.50 form here. Car fans are maybe too big, but new 172mm fans (what i have already) are £50-100 from RS components.

    Im also about to build a case for the w/c stuff, so Ill start a seperate thread in case mods for that. Stuff I need is aluminuim sheet, for example

    If you got room a truck heater core from the junk/truck yard is excellent, they are usuall about 50cmx50cm.

    dunno about new parts online, i also looked for a heatercore in the uk but it was like very expensive ones from mercedes and porches etc lol

    Time to find a breakers. New parts will cost too much.. dealers rip you off left right and centre, and you don't tend to find 3rd party washer bottles etc..

    yup, got a breakers yard, find your car (or as close to it as you can get) and buy the parts you want. or, register on some forums that own your type of car, and see if any1 is breaking
