Good find Shim, ;)

Good idea Shimmy :thumbs:

Done - nice one Shim ;)

alternatively, warranty is your friend....;)

Yanto is right warranty is your friend if the tech notices it starting to failbefore damage occurs :thumbs:

Folks, how do you tell if it's about to fail?

Well when its about to fail, everything looks ok, then when it's failed (1-12 years later), everything is fucked up!

I keep a dustbin lid over the centre consul at all times.:)

I had it last year with the mirror of my CS, the car was parked for a few hours when it was sunny weather & 30 degrees outside, when I came back it had leaked on the plastic of the SMG. So I had to change the mirror & the plastic :bigcry:
They told me when the mirror reaches high temperatures it happens easily.

It does seem t happen to cars that are parked outside more
