was drivin 2 work 2day and a mad man came round the corner n nearly knocked me in2 another car! :shock: luckily i just knocked my wingmirror off....only thing is though some of the wires have came out the mirror (it didnt work b4 i knocked it off btw) but now as well as the mirror not workin the temperature gauge in the dash next 2 the speedometer constantly reads - 30 degrees :? AND it keeps flashin at me :x

any ideas on whats gone wrong or how i cane fix it? could it just be the fact that some of the wires coming loose from the mirror have effectd the wires that controll the temp gauge?

certainly sounds that way take dash of tonight only takes a couple of mins 5 screws and just have a check to see if any have come loose etc

Cant think of any other reason why it would just stop working probaly unles the sensor has gone but i t would be very odd espically as it happens the same time that some one twated in to you
