As John was driving us the 60km to Zagreb I rang Webasto to say we’d drop in this afternoon as we did not know what was happening with the Fuso service. I then rang Mercedes and after 4 forwardings I spoke to the service manager Sajed who said still didn’t know abount parts but come on in. We got on the red road which was a two lane divided road with 3 cars on it. John cleaned out the injectors as he hurtled up the freeway.
 
Spent the first few hours sorting parts. John showed ours and they found corresponding parts. The problem being we have a Japanese built vehicle (not European)  and part numbers are different. All of the parts were found except for the park-brake shoes. Sajed told us it would not be finished till tomorrow 11am so he booked us into a nearby hotel and one of the guys drove us there.
I sent Webasto an apology and said tomorrow….
We took a taxi into town as they have a great December festival - supposedly the best in Europe. We wandered the streets with all manner of specialist "stalls"  from bow ties to Christmas decoration, food and drink, lots of different sausage in bun combinations and hot wine and or non alchohlic punch.  The trees were all decorated in fairy light and with the cold it all seemed wonderful. The 3 parks were the main areas with the last being turned into a skating rink! We wondered up to the Zagred Cathedral which was pretty amazing.
