New mirror fitted :)

[Night Train]

My S8's nearside mirror has been acting up for 3 years now, I finally took the plunge and bought a complete brand new assembly that I was lucky enough to stumble upon in someone's old stock and acquired it for very sensible money

I've ordered new trim clips, as they're a real pain, though not rattling, they don't seem to like being re-used, but that's a job for later, as I've found myself in a domestic position somewhat like our revered librarian, and extremely acrimonious, so I may not be around for a while

But if I do surface, I may consider moving on my old N/S Ali mirror to someone who needs a spare.

Regards to all for now

Richard.

Did you read my thread earlier this year about lubricating, etc. sorting out the folding (or do you have a different problem)?

I'd do this to the new one as well before fitting it.

Hope everything works out well

Thanks Dezzy, things are way up in the air at the moment, but a corner seems to have been turned.......

Long way to go yet, but we'll see.
