CHESTNUTXE 2,940 Report post Posted February 10 yes i saw that its the p/s line,hey is there any way just the mirror plastic can be changed without taking the whole thing off ?,also 1st polish came up trumps transforming the car instantly,also i think i know why the brakes dont work and might be an easy fix,ol m8 who owned it i reckon has put water in the brake fluid when i emptyed it,i swaer it aint brake fluid,more like muddy water with just a remnance of old brake fluid,to give you an idea of him,he kept the turbo blades for his ba ???and it looks like a dogs balls sticking out that far but i said i want those wheels one day mate. 1 deankdx reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord_fahrquhar 2,428 Report post Posted February 10 nah mirror on e series are fucking easier than the shitful xf setup. Same mirror - the mount is 6 billion times better, remove cover on inside of door and you'll find the screws. Also def a series 1 - dark grey interior and non gloss doorhandles. Will also have silver buttons on the climate too. 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
