Folks, how do you tell if it's about to fail?

Well when its about to fail, everything looks ok, then when it's failed (1-12 years later), everything is fucked up!

I keep a dustbin lid over the centre consul at all times.

Mine had a yellow patch in the centre of the mirror, about the size of a 50 pence piece. No external leak, but a leak within the unit itself.

I suddenly noticed my mirror glass had an air bubble at the top a couple of weeks ago. Took all of your advice and got it out quickly.

I used the Mirror John replacement service, using the DIY videos it was pretty quick and easy to sort. Highly recommended.
