Hi,
Has anyone had to buy a wheel in Italy before? It's for a rear wheel drive 1996 diesel. Cracked alloy.
Local recovery service can't help
Thanks

Have you considered getting a wheel sent out from UK? It will cost but could be easier in long run to get the Bongo home (assuming you’re on tour).

Just to help anyone in the future. If you try and import to Italy, customs need an Italian resident to sign and provide their social security number to release the parcel. So you have to find a resident

No Mazda dealerships in Italy then?
Thanks for the heads up, our 'friends and partners' on the continent are proving beyond a doubt we were best off to leave the club, pettiness at its best.

Did not try personally the dealers but the recovery service told me they tried and no one had one. So have ended up shipping from the UK.
