This thread may be of interset re the mirror glass - http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... or#p364665, the guy in the ebay link sells the mirror glass for heated & non heated mirrors at a very reasonable priceGannet wrote:Went to see Allans in Plymouth. What a gem of a guy. Took one look at oil leak and told me not to worry as they all seem to suffer that way. What a relief! Lesson learnt - it pays to go to garages that know Bongos.
Sadly now need a new wing mirror glass as some ...... pinged mirror while parked in Plymouth so not all good news!
Will certainly viist him again when I want other work done in future.
You mention trying to "cure" a squeaky alternator belt with wd40? It isn't meant as a cure, it' is just to see if that's what is squeaking, it should stop the squeaking temporarily, but it could mean the belts are actually worn or glazed along with the pulleys. Simply tightening them up may not be the answer, you may end up overtightening & ending up with FUBAR bearings, make sure you can twist the belt through 90 degrees.
