    Near side door Mirror

    OK the mirror works side to side but the up and down does nothing other than make a wirring noise. Is this fixable or is it a new, well second hand, mirror full replacement. Thanks Will

    Rear View Mirror

    My rear view mirror , Automatic type, is fogged up and the mirror is degrading at the edges. How easy is it to replace? Does is just pop off the ball joint or is it more complicated?

    ABS Pump Noise

    My ABS pump is becoming very noisy and irritating to boot. Have changed the accumulator wich helped in that the noise was only every 8 to 10 brake applications. Changed the brake fluid as i read some where this would help.....no luck. So do I have to replace it or can it be rebuilt????

Have also tried removing relays 13 and 14 which also stops the fans. No overheating experienced so not...
