Title: always just before Chrimbo!
Post by: bob.dent on 15 December 2010, 11:50:20: It seems that something always goes wrong that's going to cost money just before Christmas. This year it's the car - caught the passenger side door mirror at the weekend resulting in smashed mirror glass and broken plastic (basically the whole thing needs replacing), now the aux belt tensioners are buggered and have got to be replaced. Sod's law!! :(

I don't doubt it with some decent tools - I might struggle a bit with a pair of pliers, adjustable spanner and a hammer! ::) ;D

Could possibly do it with an adjustable

Fix mine this way almost two years ago and it still A1. Quite surprised that the heated facility works too. I didn't think it would with the stick on mirror, although it does take much longer than the o/e mirror.
