Hi all,

After some nice chap snapped my driver's side wingmirror back (meaning
it still works but doesn't stay in place without some help from glue/
tape) I'm in need of some advice on how to go about replacing it as I
don't fancy shelling out at a dealer for a replacement.

The mirror itself is fine - it still electrically adjusts and heats
up, it was just snapped back beyond it's natural range of movement
which I assume means the metal mechanism bit needs replacing.

I tried ebay but ended up getting conned (a mirror listed as being
complete/in good condition) arrived more broken than mine! So any
reliable sources for scrapyards or second-hand replacements -
preferably online or near Leeds, West Yorkshire.

Also, what other models share this type of mirror, so I can broaden my
search (I would guess Golf Mk4, Audi A4, but these are just stabs in
the dark).

Thanks in advance.

Dan
