How about auto jumbles? Does this mean the end of them?
Relying on your local breaker to have just what you want us just not viable. Assuming of course they will still be allowed to operate? Sent from my POT-LX1 using Tapatalk

That’s because the rule makers drive cars provided by the state, they have never had the enjoyment of autojumbles and tinkering with vehicles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First I've heard of this but couldn't agree more with the above. If its not trying to tax us off the roads or changing the type of petrol available, then putting a stranglehold on the supply of used parts is just another nail in the coffin!! (however, didnt they try this with the sale of second-hand furniture - not supposedly allowed without a certificate of fire-proof-ness, yet sales seem to continue online nevertheless!!)

I wonder if this is to stop the trade in stolen cars being broken down and sold off as spare parts?

If you read the link in post 16, it would appear that environmental issues are the primary motivation behind this.
Steve's comments (post 17) are also something to take seriously. The sale of used spares might just be an unintended consequence, although that is probably open to debate. If it is / was unintended, then it lends hope to any opposition, which clearly now must be organised. Regards Mike
