one thing i can suggest that may help with the axle if it's not too far gone is to drill and tap the back axle big tube about 2 to 3 inches back from the end of the arm and slap in a grease nipple and pump a shedload of grease in, if the axle has seized or semi seized, theres a good chance that the grease may free it and get it rolling right again, i had an old j reg advantage that was stiff as a board on the passenger back i did that and drove it over a few bumps and after a large BANG from that corner it freed up and was working normally, i now do it to all my ZX as a matter of course, it only takes a few minutes per side and saves a fortune on replacement, and every so often i just bang the grease gun back on and give it a few pumps.... the problem is as always that the "sealed for life" bearings in the axle aren't, i tend to treat stuff that is classed like that to be total lies, it's the best way.

yup still works with the key but the rear doors are notorious for giving up on the locks and not locking, in some cases it makes all the right sounds but no lock..... but it still works with the key alone

dismantling the wing mirror is easy, all you need to do is take it off, take the glass off by gently levering under the edge with a blade and cutting the sticky pad out, or even simpler just use a screwdriver and get a new glass. then under that through the holes in the plastic there are 3 screws, remove these and gently pull the mechanism out of the broken shell, then refitting is just the reverse, the hardest part is removing the glass, it's held in place by a combination of clips on the back, and double sided tape, refitting is simple just carefully press it back into position ensuring that the clips click into place, the double sided tape is not really needed provided that all the clips are still there, if it already has a broken glass in place then you will probably end un breaking it, sorry but that's the way it goes.
