Re: Rear view mirror

Cheers nate

The whole thing came off. Just bought the mirror glue, nice cheap fix didn't think super glue would work,

The only thing i've ever successfully stuck with super glue are my fingers together

It is an absolute b**ch of a job. Pure persistance and anger prevailed in the end.

Re: Front Bumper dismantling - nightmare

Re: VDO voltage guage instalment

I shall study the haynes manual and try to make sense of it, and Mr Funks guide, which i'm sure it'll make things a lot clearet and get cracking on with it in the morning.

I'm sure it can't be that difficult it only has the 2 wires to it.

Re: VDO voltage guage instalment

Just been looking through the haynes manual, it has diagrams for everything from cruise control to electric seats nothing seperate for a voltage gauge,

Would it be within the main diagram?
