Grrrr, somebody has bent back my car's wing mirror, but towards the bonnet rather than towards the window.


I have tried to pull it back into position but I can't budge it.


I have googled, and it seems that with some cars the mirror will move both ways, but with other it won't and if you're not careful you can damage the door (and/or break off the mirror completely).


It's an old Nissan Micra. Does anybody happen to know what will happen if I use massive force on the mirror? Is it likely to break off?


For obvious reasons, I am concerned about driving the car without it. Thanks.

Try to check how the mirror is attached. It may be attached by a bolt at the point where the mirror pivots. In my experience an Alan Key might do the job. If you loosen the bolt it will allow the mirror to pivot more easily and you can bring it back to where it needs to be and re tighten the bolt.

    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.  
    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
