Good evening and and hi!
I’m so sorry to post, especially being so late to this party after seeing the threads from 2009! I’m trying to get my mums A180 MOT ready without having to spend a fortune on getting the mirrors sorted - last year we paid over £1000 for the gear box to be refurbed as it threw a wobbler! Even more depressing was finding out that our local MB dealer, who the vehicle had been serviced with since new, had never replaced the diesel filter nor the air filter... quite amazed at how these filters, being over 10 years old, still allowed the car to run; albeit it not very well! Since replacing them, it’s like a new car!
I’ve seen some references to a post about fixing the wires within the mirror, but the links pointing to posts don’t seem to exist anymore. After being well and truly spanked by MB in the past, it’s time for some DIY!
Can anyone point me in the right direction for how I can try and fix it? Unfortunately the issue has now spread to both mirrors, so I’m sure I’ll have a lot of fun this weekend
