Advice needed on replacement mirror for 99 A3T Sport -

Hi all,
After some nice chap snapped my driver's side wingmirror back (meaning
it still works but doesn't stay in place without some help from glue/
tape) I'm in need of some advice on how to go about replacing it as I
don't fancy shelling out at a dealer for a replacement.
The mirror itself is fine - it still electrically adjusts and heats
up, it was just snapped back beyond it's natural range of movement
which I assume means the metal mechanism bit needs replacing.
I tried ebay but ended up getting conned (a mirror listed as being
complete/in good condition) arrived more broken than mine! So any
reliable sources for scrapyards or second-hand replacements -
preferably online or near Leeds, West Yorkshire.
Also, what other models share this type of mirror, so I can broaden my
search (I would guess Golf Mk4, Audi A4, but these are just stabs in
the dark).
Thanks in advance.
