Folding mirror kit from Ebay (Turkey)

Has anyone had good luck with the folding mirror repair kit?
It originates from Turkey. I'm thinking about buying it if there
is any parts that might work.

Thanks.

I'm currently waiting on 2 kits to come from Germany to repair mine. My left mirror is sloppy and needs repair parts. And I figured I'd grab a spare kit while I was as it.
I saw the ones from Turkey, but I was more comfortable ordering from Germany.
I'm my case, the slop has been caused by broken locating pins on a housing and on another part - My gearing appears to be ok.
I also found that the German kits were offered with different parts - Some had motors, some didn't. Some had gears and some didn't. They had around 8 or so different kits, depending on what parts you require.
Hopefully they will turn up this week and I'll get my mirror repaired in the next week or 2.

ill give you some advice on repairing these, mark EVERYWHERE !!!
I tried to repair mine , and as I didn't mark everywhere, I got the orientation slightly wrong , and its eaten through 5 sets of these kits, now to the point where I cant be bothered any more
or if you do finally get round to this , post up pictures of the damn thing ,
preferably the passenger side (drivers side to you , foreigners)
and I might have another go

So I just fixed mine. I'll give you one hint that I realized when looking at the shit go back together.

Bend in that tab, that is part of the motor cover, the little tab that covers one of the gear holes. When the gear fails, it pushes on that tab bending it. Every next year you use won't stay in place. Ruining it in short amount of time.
