2073.3Get it repaired?ROCKS::CAMPThu Apr 22 1993 12:254
    If the tacho's an electronic type why not get some one to have a
    look at it to see if it can be repaired? Might be worth a try if
    you can find someone who is interested in electronics.

    Pete, don't leave your car unattended when you're in the yard....
    Someone might mistake it for scrap       8-)
2073.6only joking too .... honest hahah.WOTVAX::DRAPERPPeter DraperFri Apr 23 1993 21:248
    Craig,
    
    I'ts probably the best place for it actually.....	
    
    But then again I bet your car wont even reach 140,000 miles....
    It'll probably get wrapped round a tree before it gets ther the way you
    YOUGNSTERS drive,,, 8-)
    
2073.7Try LeighWOTVAX::HATTOSI think, Therefore I'm paid lessTue Apr 27 1993 14:4813
    Peter,
                                   ?
    There are a couple in Leigh. DAKRON rings a bell, I use to use it a lot
    for my VIVA... them were the days.
    
    That one was under cover on two floors as I remember, it was great...
    you could get parts of cars without getting wet and muddy!
    
    
    	Who was it said there was a scrap heap at Maine Road? Nice one
    son!!
    
    We are top of the league.....
2073.8Great SankeyWARNUT::RICEA Watch company with a Burgundy LogoWed Apr 28 1993 13:336
    There's one in Great Sankey, Warrington. Just opposite the Forum
    Leisure Centre in (Barrow hall lane ?).  Not that good when I last went
    there but it was cheap.  It was about six years ago that I went,
    although I drove past last week and it was still there.
    
    Steve.
2073.9WOTVAX::HATTOSI think, Therefore I'm paid lessWed Apr 28 1993 15:416
    Peter,
    
    It was DEKRON I was thinking of not DAKRON, apparently you make socks
    or something out of Dacron!

    Pete,
    
    I think it was around the COURTS pub somewhere, one of those back
    streets. It should be in the Thompson....
