Hello All. I have just bought a 350i. TVR is one of my dream cars.. I love it so much, and the wedges are such good value.

I've had it two weeks and bits have fallen off and bits have gone wrong, but you have to laugh and just blip the throttle...

The mirrors dont work very well and on trying to adjust it I cracked the glass. Does anyone know what they are off and if and where I can get a new one?

Thanks All

The motors are from the Rover SD1 Vitesse/Vanden Plas. I think the glass is bespoke but can be bought/cut at any glass shop.

Adam, welcome. I assume your mirrors are the pod type mounted on the triangular metal piece in the corner of the door glass. If they are then the motors are indeed Rover SD1 (Saab 900 are the same) and I think the glass is possible Ford Capri but don't quote me on this. I wouldn't buy it without comparing it with the old one first. Cheers Steve.
