Re: helpppp
 

There are a few scrapyards about or I can search for a motor factors - which area of Zala are you in so I know where to look?

Re: helpppp
 

The same happened to me on one trip to UK in the LDV Convoy. In my case only the glass was broken so as a temporary measure I taped on my travelling shaving mirror with duct tape and sorted it properly when back in Scotland.

Tapolca in zala we are rural whuld be a big help lol thanks a lot

Re: helpppp
 

Tapolca, Vesprem ;)

There should be two on this street: 8300 Tapolca, Hegymagasi út
This is the phone number of one of them, Toth Autobonto 06 87/510 954, though if Hungarian is limited or non existent, probably as well calling in on them. The second one is a few hundred yards down the road and if neither have the part, I am sure they will be able to point you in the right direction.

Re: helpppp
 

Thank u very much I will let u know how I get on tomoz..

Re: helpppp
 

You're welcome, a thanks is always appreciated :D Good luck tomorrow.

Re: helpppp

Re: helpppp
 

Hi Steak, typical! Can see if there is another number if you want though I think it will be worth visiting as they are one of the larger car breakers so you should be in luck :fingerscrossed:

Re: helpppp
 

Ime gonna nip ther now I been putting it off lol been enjoying myself to much to be worried about the 12 hour drive to holland with 1 wing mirror lol

Re: helpppp
 

No luck lol plenty of new cars but not the mirror ime after never mind I keep my eyes peeled while out and about thanks for the help was much appreciated stb steakk

Re: helpppp
 

If this is a hire car why is it your problem to resolve? Have the hire car company not got a breakdown recovery service available to help you?

Re: helpppp
 

Could be wrong but I'm guessing perhaps there is an excess on the insurance and the amount the hire company would charge for the repair would be more than if he repaired the mirror himself. I've known hire companies to take hundreds off for the smallest of scratches that a bit of t-cut would make good!

Re: helpppp
 

Exactly that rural its hired from holland and its expensive for evrything ther my best bet is to fix myself its only a wing mirror its no big problem not gonna let it hinder my stay in this bueatifull country big respect for all the english who have got of ther arses and moved here all I can say is what a country

Re: helpppp
 

I have a client here at the moment who had a small knock on his back bumper which in turn popped the side trim out - likewise, if he took it back to the hire company, it would cost a fortune so I'll get my husband to pop it back in when he comes for dinner this evening.
Glad you like the country:D One chap recently fell in love with it so much that he now has three houses and just under four acres of land for about £20,000 - you couldn't buy a garage in the UK for that! So long as you research and avoid the sharks, it really is a great place to buy and live:D

Re: helpppp
 

Do you no of any good houses in the zala reigon rural sumthing what needs workdoing 20 to 100 euros or anywere inbetween ?

Re: helpppp
 

LOL in that range, hundreds! PM me if you want with what you are looking for and I'll see if I can find something "interesting" as I literally do know of hundreds and would need your "must have" list to narrow it down. Had you asked me this time last year, there was a castle for sale for less than 100,000 euro at auction - it's now on the open market for (cough cough) 330,000 euro :eek:
Have you seen the old millhouse in the centre of Tapolca - past the mill restaurant, it's more than 100,000 but been on the market for a while so might accept an offer?

Re: helpppp
 

will drop you a pm when I get home working on a 2inch screen here lol
