Who is good at finding car parts? OFF TOPIC!

Fred:
Thank you all  :D

Little Keith, I keep you in mind (well, all the time anyway  :P ) if I can't find something locally  :D

Ronan, yeah, tried to look in France, but could not find anything  :!:  :?:

Stephen, that is good news, I pm tall Keith  :D

And finally John, thanks, I tried eBay also, but usually, when I mention Dublin, we get a communication breakdown!  :!:  :!:

For the part, I need the inner light, the one with the fog/rear light

Like that one:



But the other side  :D

NCT failed on my car because the guy found a pin size hole in the plastic! Can barely see it! Everything else is top notch. Amazing reason to fail the NCT if you ask me!  :twisted:  :twisted:

billscottni:
Do they allow you to fill the hole Fred? Epoxy on a cocktail stick?.

Have you tried scrapyards & salvage yards?

Happy Days:

Yeah, it’s almost certainly failed because the hole allows white light to be shone from the rear of your car.
I’d have though that the re-test would simply involve the inspection of the rear light, and hence no-charge.

You could try filling the little hole with a clear resin, or maybe hot melt glue, and use some nail varnish to colour it red with the best match to the rest of the red lens.  (All you need to do is to stop any white light being shone from the rear of your car.)

Fred:
Hey Bill,

Yep, tried scrapyards etc, but some quotes came at around 80 euros!  :shock:  :evil:  In the UK, ranged from 20 to 40 euros...

Hey Keith, the hole is 5mm sq if even! On the second visit, put a piece of red translucent tape on it, about 1cm sq. The guy came in the car park, barely looked at it, said clever move, but no, failed!
I was not very happy to say the least! Looks like they have to make a certain amount of failed a month!  :!:

So, have to re-pay for a full visit, just for that! If that was something big etc, I would be happy to do it, but just for that, that is taking the p !  :evil:  :!:

Keith:
Hi fred
I will check for you tomorrow
