Andy, Justkampers do a selection of gear linkages bushes, pins and joints or even a trip to your VW dealers may help you with your search.

N, but I know the phone number of the local dealer!
I astounds me that people ask on here for parts that you can just order from your local VW dealer!
But, the LT style mirrors are about £75 each.

Yeh, of course they're doing everyone a big favour by even condescending to sell them to us, let alone giving a 7.5% discount :)

33% would be totally out of the question for VAG I imagine :wink:

There are different discount "codes" for different items, you would be surprised at the amount that the dealers DON'T make on parts!

Some items have a better discount code and there is "movement", some have carp discount codes..

Generally the service items for newer cars have better discount codes, the slower moving "have to order it in" for an old van type things have worse discount codes..
