Hello,

Would like to find out if anyone have encounter a side mirror problem where the side mirror will not be able to close or open fully. May I know anyone who have fix it at a workshop outside and may I know what it is the price and the workshop as well. Car warranty has ended and Mazda is quoting me to play $146 w/o labour cost just to replace the actuator.

Hong Yu is where many fix side mirror issue, including myself for forester xt while my mazda 6 was fortunately repair by eurokar under warranty.

Many carousell advertisements offering such repair.

Cheers.

Get a can of WD-40 Silicone (less than 15 bucks), spray liberally into the side mirror housing, let it seat overnight. It may resolve your issue.

My front suspension arms were replaced under this extended warranty last week - not sure how much it will cost if I replaced it outside.

Just got a set of Continental Premium Contact 6 225/45 R19 with Wedssport SA 25R rims from Stamford Tyres.

19" cost a lot more than 17".

Continental PC6 225/45 R17 is $230 per tyre. Continental PC6 225/45 R19 is $323 per tyre. More than $100 more.

My stock tyre on my M6 2.5 were Bridgestone Turenza 225/45 R19. Stamford Tyre recommended Falken FK510 ($272/tyre). Just saw a Masarati with Falken FK510 245/40 R20. What tyres are you all using after the stock tyres?

[Jamesc]

Toberone tyres.

$323-$230 is only $93 so 4 tyres you save $28. Can go for big claypot chicken rice.

Fk510 is a good tire. Probably the only one in falken range I would buy. 
anyway 225/50/17 is the correct size.
