I've reckon, and I'll bow to superior knowledge that the Alfa Romeo 166 door mirror is compatible with the 3200/4200.
A new one from Maserati is in excess of £330 but a car factor will sell an Alfa part for around £175+vat.

However, as usual eBay comes up trumps
£25!

Mine are looking to have a little corrosion and staining so I might indulge an report back

I understand (from Catman) that the casing is the same but the base is different. Probably would swap over. I had mine repainted to get rid of the corrosion, cost £100.

Done, chap. Nothing about wishbones, I'm afraid, although Eurospares now do pattern parts.

You might want to remove your email address from the post to prevent it being harvested by spam bots as well

Would it be possible to move the table over to Google Spreadsheets? This way everybody would always have the most recent version. I would happily do the conversion if you can send me the latest one.

The reason we haven't is that I'm not allowed access :)

If you want to take it over, I'm more than happy to give it to you

QP V Wiper blades

You can fit Bosch Aerotwins, with a small mod to the clip on the driver's side. Parts are AR26U and AR18U. The same left/right length combination as:
Honda Civic 09.11 ->
Nissan Primera 12.01-09.10
Toyota Camry 08.11 ->

Looking good so far but not many miles done yet. More testing needed before I recommend. Will post a photo if anyone's interested.

Now I understand what you mean when you say you'll add something to the list Catman. Always assumed it was somewhere on the site.

Uploaded the latest version to
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PYNzdG_Uo-nU-hOef6Nq4JthCDxsfZWr7m4jDmsjVFY/edit?usp=sharing

I've started to put the different models to different sheets (duplicating common parts where needed) and also started to fill up the missing cells (mostly part no.) plus added a column for the SM topic where the part / replacement process is discussed. Will do this progressively.

It's open for comments, but they have to be accepted by the editors.
Anybody up for having edit rights? Better to have 2-3 so I'm not the weak link :)
