Well it has gone too far for that, I have taken the whole assembly off the van and have the door interior removed too, to get at the wiring ,I could put it all back together I guess , but frankly cant be bothered ,so will just sit it out and see where it goes,very annoying though.

yes you would need to take it off the van to do it anyway as youwould need to thread the power cable back through the mirror

Yes, quite a saga. have been in contact with the seller. a courier called yesterday to collect a parcel to go to Chatham, I know nothing about that I say, off he goes, it turns out that the mirror I ordered went to Chatham and the one destined for Chatham came to me, so the seller had arranged for my mirror to come from Chatham and vice versa, it would have been good if they told me this, anyway my mirror was delivered to me this morning and I have now fitted it, I did not change the arms to my original but fitted the complete assembly , my existing arm, [ solid alloy block] would have made the mirror stick out by more than 3 inches than the new assembly and there would have been no adjustment as the block is set for 3 positions out forward or back against the van , so I would have been in the same predicament that I was in before the mirror got smashed, it is really noticeable against the left hand mirror as that sticks out a long way, so I am happy with the result and will now get a new left hand assembly and change to that as well.
So I am now waiting for the mirror that was sent in error to be collected and someone in Chatham is still waiting for their mirror I guess. I have to say that although I was annoyed about the wrong mirror coming originally , the seller[ E Garage on E Bay ] were very helpful and sorted my problem quickly , it seems the wrong label was stuck on my parcel and also on the one for Chatham, but all is well now, So now we can get on the road and across the Channel for who knows where, I watched the Hairy Bikers on TV last night , they were in Latvia and Estonia and it looked great so may go that way, we shall see.
Thanks for all the input from you guys and the information given on my small problem.

Another glitch would be the connecting block for the electrics 7 cables go into the block and the block will need to be cut off the cables to thread the loom through the mirror arm housing and then the block refitting after the new arm was attached and I do not want to remove the block as it could be a problem best avoided ??

I have just ordered a new mirror [complete assembly ] electric from the same place I got the right hand [ E Garage ] for the nearside of my van and it is £43 total, the right hand one cost £90 that makes no sense does it? £90 was a good price compared to other sellers for the right side, hope I don't get hassle with this one hee hee .
