Successfully changed it on my 406 a few months ago, with only minimal
bodging required, so it can be done

My bodging mojo is low at the moment. The car passed the MOT with nothing
wrong not even a cautionary (first time ever I think). Then trying to get a
leaking oil pipe union off the motorbike I undo a nut which seems to have
welded itself to the aluminium pipe which twists and then splits. Some swine
appears to have lacquered the two together.

Thanks Malc and Peter,

It is on the left hand mirror. The mirror is off and I'm going to take a
look now.

Hope I have better luck with any bodging required,
Lenny
