HELP NEEDED! New side mirror mk4 Pitlochry, Scotland

Postby jair33 » Wed Jun 28, 2017 9:56 pm

Hi all! While driving the beautiful though very narrow streets of central Scotland, another car managed to break off my right hand side side mirror (glass plus retainer clip, body still there) in a blind turn. I would like to fix a new side mirror for my mk4 ford transit motor 4DA asap. Anybody have any addresses in the vincinity of Pitlochry, or perhaps Aberlour as that is our next destination to fix a new one?

Otherwise, any ideas on how to improvise something until I come back home to Holland (5th July)) are also appreciated. I saw new side mirrors for 15 e on transitcenter.co.uk so don't mind waiting for that too.

Thanks a lot for any help/ ideas!

Is it just a place to do the repair yourself? Or a recommended garage your looking for?

Thanks for the fast reply! Rather a place which has a replacement mirror itself and can do the repair (I don't have torx screws with me and I saw in Haynes I need them)..

Sorry I don't know if any places local to you?

But if you if you find a mirror and are passing Edinburgh way, I've got any tools you'd need to swap it over :)


Or you could just buy a bit of mirror locally and gaffa tape it on temporarily :D
