    Can anyone help me or tell me what I should to to fix this problem?
    I have bits of paper under each one to keep them pointing upwards which does the job but my NCT is coming up.. I presume I need to fix this before the test?
    Is there anywhere that could fix mine or do I need to buy new ones?
    Thanks.

    If the external mirrors are factory fitted then they will be tested and it sounds like yours will fail as they cannot be adjusted - I assume the paper will fall out if the tester tries to change the angle of the glass and that will make them 'not adjustable' which is a fail.

    You will most likely fail on 4 and possibly 3 below......

    Reasons for failure

    1 Missing.
    2 Reflecting surface deteriorated or broken so as to impair the driver’s view.
    3 Head or mounting loose.
    4 Mirror not adjustable.

    Section 11, P. 27

    Yes, you do.

    Can't say yes, can't say no, without seeing them.

    Second hand ones I'd say. :)

    Tyre centres such as Sweeneys on bridgefoot st, or fastfit can be life savers when it comes to the little issues such as mirrors pre nct. Call em.
