How to change the regular rearview mirror with a wide-angle one on a Mini R56.

Model: Mini Mini R55, R57, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Side mirror

In this video, we see how to change the mirror of an external rearview mirror, replacing a regular mirror with a wide-angle and heated one. The operation itself is very simple. We just need to adjust the mirror to one side, insert a thick cloth where the space has been formed to insert it, and with a plastic spatula, pry on the cloth until the mirror comes off. We remove the electrical connectors and can then position the wide-angle mirror, which can be found, for example, on Amazon, where we can get a pair (right and left) for 88.14 euros + 1.99 euros for delivery. The reference code is B0C3GFHKQX.

How to Replace the Battery on a Volkswagen Polo

When your vehicle won't start and makes noises similar to electrical contacts, the cause is likely the battery. Release the bonnet using the appropriate lever and lift it to secure it with the prop rod. First, check the condition of your battery, then disconnect the terminals, starting with the negative one. Next, unclip the brackets securing the battery on both sides, then unscrew the bolts on the sides of the battery base to remove the brackets holding it in place. Install the new battery, and you're done!
