Scrappy do

I've got to go to a scrapyard a bit later to look for a new passenger door mirror, after someone helpfully kicked the old one right off the car during the night. I am not wise in the ways of such places -- how do they work? I have a hazy mental image of a Scrapheap-Challenge-like dash around tottering heaps of junk looking for the telltale Escort badge...

Slide away

Can anyone recommend a good place to get a load of 35mm slides converted to digital? Is it going to be hideously expensive whatever? Should I just get a transparency scanner and a slave to operate it?
