confused

Hey folks

I was driving along the other day when a substantial box landed on my foot from under the dash. It turned out to be the mirror control unit, trailing a series of wires. Thankfully the wires are long enough for the unit to rest on the floor of the footwell for now, albeit that they're affecting the carpet trim.

It obviously needs to go back from whence it came, but I can't see where or how it was fixed. There's an L-shaped piece of sponge stuck round it, but it doesn't look as if that was glued to anything - I assume it is for shock-absorbing purposes.

Haven't found anything in my Heath bible as yet. Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers

Mark

Shove it back up from whence it came, cable tie it up and hope it doesn't come back down, that is what TVR would have done smile

Mine's in the lower part of the dash (beside the radio). If yours was in the same place I can't imagine how it's escaped.

TVR use cable tie - no way - would have been a bit of tape or blue tack from the mechanics pocket = that why we love them so much...
