How do I remove the mirror to replace it?
What's the best bet for a replacement? Halfords (expensive but clean and quick and may not fit 100%) scrappy (cheap, proper fit but dirty and cold, and maybe not quick).... Peugeot dealer (expensive? probably and slow).

Why do you need to replace? If it's a broken mirror get a replacement stick on glass from Halfords. If it's the fitting then a replacement from a scrapyard would be your best bet - depends if it's colour coded. Otherwise, given the age of the car- get some gaffer tape!
To replace is straightforward - get the door trim off and its a simple matter to remove and replace. If you have electric's either n the mirror or window then make sure disconnected.
Its not a big job to do yourself

If it is just the glass it isn't (or at least wasn't!) too expensive from Peugeot. If I remember correctly it was only a few pounds more than the Halfords stick-on one, and the job is much neater. Fitting is really easy, there is a little lever at the bottom of the mirror glass that needs sliding to one side, then it pops off - so getting one from a scrappy will take seconds.

My experience of replacing whole mirrors has not been so easy. On one
405 I had I found you have to take off the inner door panel to get to the connectors.And for just the mirror: though I have had a 405 with a little lever at the bottom of the mirror, two others have a sort of circlip which has to be drawn together to hold the mirror against the backing with the little electric motors. It is a sod to get on. The best wheeze I found was a dab of black tape loosely across the circlip ends and then the serated edge of a key to pull the clip across and up (or was it down?) ... you'll find out soon if you have one of these. A stick on mirror is definitely preferable!
