Anyone got a s1 wing mirror for sale must have a nuckle that works. Or where is the best place to get one?

Cheers

Either your local scrappy -Rover Metro/100 part.

OR

the plinth knuckle is £19.42 plus VAt for a new one - I'd get the mirror from a scrappy rather than pay £75 plus VAT for what is essentially a rover part, that you'll have to respray anyway.

I thought you needed the whole new unit - if your painted part is ok, you can transfer it - but it's a b1tch of a job to do!

Good luck!

if its just the swivel loose can you not run a hot iron across it to give it a burrow it will retighten it
its an old trick i used to use on swivel grass trimmers

I think what's happend is before I got the car I think someone my have kicked of the mirror. It has been glued back on to the painted bit but it won't move so I can't see out it unless I lean way forward.. So can I buy a new mirror and put it back on the painted bit??

Here's the "exploded" view - you should be able to work out what you need from here.
