Hi Fred,

Can you get UK dealers to ship via ParcelMotel?

Hi Peter,

Yep, tried that, but they all said no. They don't ship to Ireland  :!:

Bill, that will be my plan B (see little Keith post earlier in the thread  :D )

I will always remember what the guy said before I left... "It's a very common car, parts are no problem"... :roll:  :x

Hi Fred,
          Have you tried Rathgar Motor Factors 4909550 sometimes they can source cheaper replacement parts rather than paying for genuine spares, ask for best price.

Alright guys, looks like the search is over!
Found the parts in the UK for 25 euros! Looks like it is being shipped either here or in the UK (no info on the tracking yet  :?: )

Many thanks to all of you for the help  :D  You are a great bunch of guys and what make this slope soaring community one of the best known to men!  :clap:  :D

The glider wagon should be back on the roads soon  :D  :D
