Nothing . The cars chassis has 3 holes. You out the mirror on the outside and thread the screws so it links the car and the mirror. I'll see if I use self-threading screws and it solves

Yes but did you see the photos of the holes? It's weird there's no threads. I try to use the screws I bought for the other mirrors and they just won't fit, they don't go inside the hole. It's very strange

GUYS, I need your help one more time! So, after I got and installed the Left mirror I went on and bought the Right-side one. A different brand since the same brand as the left-side one had the right-side one unavailable. From the photo, I was almost thinking the Right-side one would be a Dark Blue, but it's Black. So far so good. This mirror looks just like the Left-side one. The connector is the same and all. The problem are the 3 holes where you put a screw and fix the mirror to the car. I'll show you photos of the holes in this new mirror. As you can see the holes don't have threads to screw in. I thought the mirror would come with some sort of thread protector screwed in the holes so I could then take them out and thread some screws but I tried using pliers to pull or rotate the top rim of the holes and it doesn't do anything. In the 3rd photo you can see the black rim and then a silver tube with no threads. So is this another installing system? The mirrors have the OEN CRB107150PMP I'm looking in a site where they sell genuine MG/Rover parts and they sell screws in the mirrors section, so do we thread the screw directly in the hole, making a thread? Thanks.

About the mounting screw sizes, I think the old ones have like 4mm diameter, and I had to get 6mm diameter ones.

Everyone, IT WORKS! Haha awesome moment when I plug the connectors, put the Ignition on the ON position and adjust the mirrors flawlessly! So, to clarify: This is the connector of the old mirrors: This is the connector of the new mirrors: You see that the new one has 2 more black cables. Those are indeed for the heating element, which my car doesn't support and it's confirmed because this is the connector: As you can see, it only has 3 contact pins, so the 2 black cables of the new mirrors simply don't connect, while the others one do and work perfectly. And now I have a new driver-side mirror :D IMPORTANT: the mirror is the same size as the old one and fits perfectly and the screw holes align perfect with the car holes BUT you need to get thicker screws. The old ones can't screw into the new mirror holes because they're slim so I had to go and buy 3 thicker screws. It was the only thing that wasn't compatible. I bought them on Autodoc and they sometimes make compatibility information mistakes. They're website is saying these mirrors aren't compatible with my car while some other that are simply the same and cost more are. Don't get fooled, always try to find the OEN number for your parts and see if you can find cheaper. Thanks a lot for all the support.

Thanks anyway, but I have a Haynes manual for the Civic. Would like to check the Mirrors Wiring Diagram of the Rover 400, though... I'm not going to buy an entire manual just to look at one Diagram :/

Exactly. I have a Haynes manual showing the wiring of my Civic and the Electric Mirrors wiring is as follows: If you understand this diagram, you can see that after the circuit leaves Fuse 13 it separates, one end going to the Mirror Adjustment switch and the other end going to either the Defogger switch (if you have it), or IF YOU HAVE an Aerodeck it goes straight to the mirrors heater, so as soon as you turn the ignition key to the ON position it starts heating them. I don't have a Defogger switch neither my Civic is an Aerodeck, so I don't have heated mirrors. Makes sense because if you observe the 139 item which is the Left-Handed mirror (the one I need to replace) you see that it has 5 cables connected to it. This would be if the mirrors were heated. Since they're not, they only get 3 cables that come from the Adjustment switch: 1 controls Down and Left 1 controls Up 1 controls Right The worse thing it can happen when I plug the new Rover mirrors is that the Adjustment cables may be switched and for example I'll try to adjust the mirror UP and it goes RIGHT or something. Would be funny as hell hahahaha.

Thanks a lot! The Rover code mirrors look just like those of yours. The connector is the same as mine so it will fit and if it's like you said and those 2 black wires are for the heater then it may work straight away because my 3 wires are in the same place as your other 3 wires (besides the black ones). I'll give it a shot and order those mirrors. Then I'll show you how it went. Many thanks to you and @Dave :D

Hi there, thanks for the reply. So, now with links, this is the used part: https://www.b-parts.com/pt/store/products/6043484/retrovisor-esquerdo-honda-civic-vi-fastback-ma-mb-20-i-td-mb7-1994-1995-1996-1997-1998-1999-2000-2001/ It's the same shape as mine, already comes with a little crack and costs 80€ with shipping. The connector is the same as mine with 3 pins. Now, when I go to Autodoc and insert my car's license plate and search for the wing mirrors it gets this one: https://m.auto-doc.pt/blic/7471648 Brand new, says it's compatible and costs around 60€ with shipping. Now, that mirror has a OEN code for ROVER. You use that code and search for parts in Autodoc and it brings similar mirrors like this one that is cheaper: https://m.auto-doc.pt/van-wezel/1276288 The photo of this last one shows the connector's face in the top right and it looks like my mirror's connector but instead it looks like it has a 5 pin connection. I don't know if the first one I shown from Autodoc is 3 or 5 pins, we can't see I'm the photos.

Hi there. I'm trying to get a new drivers side (Left-hand drive) wing mirror. At a used parts website I found the same mirror as my damaged one, but at a high price (for a used part). At a new parts website, when I insert my vehicle and look for the mirrors, it only shows me one. That one has a OEN Rover code CRB107160PMP. When I search for parts with that specific OEN on the website it shows me more and cheaper mirrors that the one it shows me by simply using the car model, but the website claims those don't fit the car, although they have the same OEN code. I now understand the Honda Civic and Rover 400 of that time had many shared parts, and even parts that don't look the same could fit in each other. For what i understand, these "Rover" mirrors have the same connection tip as my car's. However they make a 5 pin connection, while my mirrors make a 3 pin connection. Searching about it I read someone saying that Rover cars have a button to heat the wing mirrors and that's why they make a 5 pin connection, while Honda cars heat the wing mirrors when you press the rear window heater button, thus only needing 3 pin connections. I'll leave photos of the connector. I'm just wondering if I could get this "Rover" mirror for my Civic, since they are brand new and much cheaper than a used Honda one, and If they would work (at least the angle adjustment function). Congrats, XtrimePT

I created the post on the Engine section , ad no anwer. Here's the link but I'll explain anyway: In my MB3, the pipe between the air filter and the engine has a little hole. The car runs fine had no problems but that thing worries me. Is there any sealant I can use for it? Because I can't find it to buy, all the sites I found that sell it have it out of stock and it seems expensive also.

Hello, friends. Was changing engine oil on my Civic MB3 the other day and noticed the pipe between the air filter and the engine has a little hole. The car is fine to drive and never had problems with it but I don't like that thing over there. It's the tube of number 6. All the sites where they sell this tube have it discontinued so I guess I won't find it to buy, and even If i could it seems expensive. So is there a way to seal that hole? Or should I try to find one at a scrapyard? Thanks.
