Looking for mobile mechanic near Cabo de Gata/Almería in S Spain

[Rupulu]

Hi fellow van folk

I am in a real pickle with a sliding door on my Renault Master that keeps coming off the rails when opening. I had it fixed at a garage in the UK before leaving but it happened again at a park up here in Spain. I had help from a kind van couple to get all rollers back on the rails and close it back up properly, and locked doors while driving.

I have found a Renault workshop not far away in Almería that have a 5* rating and have been able to book me in for next week.

However, in a moment of stupidity while rushing around doing water etc yesterday I forgot and went to open the sliding door, and it came off the rails again I had some help to put it back on but I can see it is not fully closed and that not all wheels of the middle roller are inside the middle rail, and I feel too dodgy about driving it around like this.

I believe I know what needs to be done to temp fix but really it is minimum 2 person job as the door is so heavy and needs one person inside the van and one outside to manipulate things back into place. And if I start trying to do it myself and the door comes fully off the rails again, I am putting myself back in a trickier situation again.

So I'm currently looking for a mobile mechanic around here to come to the campsite where I'm parked in Cabo de Gata to help me to fix it shut securely until I have my appointment with the Renault garage next week.

I found info on another forum about an English mobile mechanic in the area, but no luck yet getting through yet - so I wanted to reach out here in case if anyone in the van hivemind might have any leads for a mobile mechanic in the Cabo de Gata/Almería area

Sorry for the essay! Thank you if you kept reading this far Safe and happy travels

If you are on a campsite, is there anyone could help in reception? Maintenance man or someone that could help you get it back on properly? They might know of a mechanic as well? Which campsite are you on?

Thanks! I am on the Camper Area in Cabo de Gata. They did already help me to get it back on like this and they were so nice about it but felt bad to ask again, and if we have another go at it and it comes all of the way back out of the middle rail it may be difficult for us to get it back on again. I will ask them though if they know a mechanic or handyman who may be able to call out here.
