Replacing the External Rear-View Mirror

Model: Vauxhall Vectra Vectra C, MK 3 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Side mirror

Has the rear-view mirror of your car broken and you don't know how to repair it? The following guide shows you how. You will see that replacing it is easier than you think. You will need a new mirror and a screwdriver. Once you have purchased the new screwdriver, you can proceed to remove and refit. The procedure is extremely simple: at the centre of any internal rear-view mirror, there is a button that must be pushed upwards; after positioning it, use a screwdriver to turn the fixing screw located between the mirror and the external support. For external mirrors, always use a screwdriver, but not to unscrew: in this case, apply pressure from below on the glass, trying to insert the screwdriver between the glass and the external cover and lever it out.

How to Replace the Rear Light and Bulbs on a Ford Focus Year 2000

To replace the rear light and bulbs on a Ford Focus 2000/2004, first, open the tailgate of the boot. This gives access to the screw that holds the rear light in place. The screw to undo (using an appropriate screwdriver) is located inside the light and corresponds to the fold that accommodates the tailgate (as shown in the images). Once you start to undo it, continue with the operation and then remove the nut from the inside of the bodywork. At this point, you can remove the light, being careful to disconnect the electrical supply by unplugging the connectors or removing the entire bulb holder from its housing. This way, you can replace the bulbs. To reassemble everything, simply follow the described operations in reverse order.
