I always struggle to find motorist stores similar to Halfords, Lloyds, EuroCarParts etc when I’m on the continent. What should I look out for when I’m abroad?

Many thanks, very helpful.

So do you use ATU Mayen, or is there somewhere else nearer to Adenau?

Remmpf is another... mind you bolt-on extras are often cheap and nasty chinese junk AND don't forget you must get an ABE and if necessary get it entered on the vehicle paperwork! That's also a reason why there are few aftermarket parts here....

I don't use them anymore since I no longer drive the track frown

Mayen would be the nearest though, then Bad Neuenahr.

Why do you need one, what are you after?

Sorry to hear that, I guess I'm missed your explanation...

No plans to visit any German motor factors, but it's good to know where to go in an emergency.
