For quite a few weeks, the left-hand wing mirror on my car has been making a rather unsettling clicking/knocking noise every time it folds out.
And at lunchtime today it decided it was finally going to give up the ghost. It folds in, but doesn’t fold out. Repairing it shouldn’t be too difficult, or so I thought. It seems as if the linkage between the motor and the wing mirror joint has decided to become dislodged, or broken at worst.
So, armed with my trusty Torx screwdrivers, and a few other choice items from my toolbox, I went out to change its mind.
