Yeah, but it probably wont go for $30. It has 4 days to go. I reckon it will end up going for around $100

If you can't find one over there, can ask this guy to re-list it as it didn't sell. $50 he was after from memory....

Also does anyone know how much it would cost to fix my Rev Meter? It doesn't move at all =_=

I would think it should cost $60-$100, it would be around about 1hr of work.
But its pretty easy to do and im sure if you asked someone here to do it for they would. I would do it for you, for a carton of beer, but i aint in sydney
so ask someone nicely and they might.

It all depends on whats wrong with it, it could be few different things again somebody in sydney might offer their services to help you at least identify the problem
Hope that helps

1 hr my arse! it takes 2 minutes! for both!
turn the mirror inwards or outwards to expose the two 10mm bolts holding it onto the door (inside the pivoting neck of the mirror) , undo them with a ratchet, and disconnect the electric motor wire inside. thats it.

when stripping down my car, i figured out that mitsubishi wanted to make the driveline a c**t to work with, but everything else is super friendly and easy to work with.

I have also taken some photos and will have a guide up to show you how to change it over soon (my sites down atm, otherwise it would be there in about 1/2 hour)

Hi Guys, I bought the LHS mirror in silver from the guy off TradeMe who was selling both sides. Condition was good. I only needed the black mirror surround, and I paid NZ$60.
Good condition, was pleased with the result.
