I'm travelling through Germany and have damaged a wheel. I am using 15 inch Mercedes Benz wheels. I have reached Flensburg. I would like any advice. Thanks :-)

What would you like to hear? "Buy a new one" "use your spare tire" ??
;-)

Or do you like to get an advise where you can get a new one?

The German word for tire is "Reifen". If you type it into your smartphone or Google you should find some addresses where to buy new ones.

Thank you. I am at a tyre shop now.

I am looking for another MB wheel to replace the damaged one. I would like to buy an old wheel. In the UK I would find a scrapyard where old cars are recycled. I hope I can do the same in Germany.

I shall ask for directions to a "Schrottplatz". This is a Google translation for scrapyard! Google is often wrong.

"Schrottplatz" is right, another one used would be "Autoverwertung".

Good luck!

Thank you all. I have been helped by some good people in Flensburg and am now near Copenhagen! I hope my luck will be better now. I am going to Nord Kapp! I must be crazy.

There is a VW festival in Mantrop, Sweden. That is my first destination. :smile:

I did indeed visit this gentleman and got the wheel I needed. I'm now in Stockholm and about to push on hard to the north. 1700km. In 3 days. Maybe. ;-)

We made it to Nord Kapp with no more problems. The Cape was cold and misty. Lovely scenery. The slow roads suited my T3. Came back through Finland where we fed many mosquitoes!

Facinating being in brilliant sunshine for 24 hours a day.
