The passenger side electric mirror does not work off the switch whatever I do, so any ideas whether I should buy a replacement switch or mirror or both or neither?!! All the fuses are ok, am I missing something?
 
Check the wiring loom where it passes through the door hinge bellows and at the pivot point in the mirror housing. Broken wires are common.
 
You folk on here are awesome, took the bellows off as suggested, it is really clean and no problem at all, ok, so the silly moment was, thought to take the wood panel off around the gear lever and would you believe the switch was not even connected up, it works fine! Ironically, on my receipts that came with the car is one which says they had replaced the steering wheel because it was shortening and all the wiring was also checked, this was by a Merc specialist.
 
I have also wondered whether the 190 steering wheel is the same size as others only even with the seat adjusted as low as it shall go you are almost touching it with your knees.
 
The standard steering wheels are comically big, I found a smaller leather cosworth wheel on eBay which is a much nicer size. They pop up for reasonable prices if you keep watching.
