    Thank you. Someone decimated my mirror today and my garage quoted me £154.13. But I think you've just saved me a good £100. My Super Hero 😎

    Loving the series of videos on this van :-) Great to see it going from a wreck to something very useable.

    My 2004 mk2 is still going strong but it is great to see some hands on work on a mk3 which would be my choice if forced since my mk2 is still really good with the exception of electrics sadly. If there is one item I have had to replace often on it it is the wing mirror! Only had to do it twice and on both occasions it fell victim to another commercial getting too close. Always tempted to put a bar in front of the mirror when it happens so the aggressor gets more damage. Great work fixing this up.

    For the tape residue get a bottle or spray can of sticky stuff remover, it's only a few quid on eBay or if your near a B&Q they stock it to, works like a charm. P.s. Subscribed to your channel keep up the good work.

    Nice job , but should you have transferred the dust/ weather seal off the old mirror onto the new one to stop water ingress into the van in the future ?

    As a bit of a van man.. I was shocked to see the state this came in. But it's good hands it seems because it's going to better than new when you're finished...Nice! :) These Vivaro things are more durable than the modern transit, an over bloated fiesta!

    One way to remove the adhesive is to spray it with WD40 and it should come off with a light rub with a cloth very easily.

Would you be interested if I gave you a budget for a van to buy and fix, For my son's first ever vehicle 17 Birthday present. How amazing would it be for him to have videos of his first vehicle being totally repaired like new.

    We have loads of these repairs to pay for at work. The business I work for tells me this is a £500 job. My question to you Steve is how long did it take and what did the mirror cost off ebay compared to the main dealer price? thanks. Great video by the way, you could have been right in the shit if you lost those nuts.
