About 4 days ago my power mirrors stopped working.  (They were completely
immobile and silent.)  Last night my sliding door wouldn't lock
automatically when I locked the driver's or passenger's side door.   (When I
locked the front doors, there was no sound or activity at all in the sliding
door lock, but I could lock and unlock it with a key.)  About 3 hours later,
I went out to check the sliding door again, and it worked perfectly.  Today
I checked the mirrors, and they also worked, but it seems like the
passenger's side mirror was stuck, and if I forced it, I was afraid the
glass would break.  Do I need to perform some sort of maintenance or
oiling?  I know nothing about the mechanics of either item, but I do have a
Bentley, and would gladly perform any maintenance I'm capable of.

Another question - my rear door won't unlock with a key once I've
power-locked the doors.  If I want to open the back door, I have to go to
one of the front doors and unlock it.  Is that normal, or is there some sort
of a trick to this?

After buying my Westy in mid April, I've only been driving it regularly for
a month.  Even after reading the user manual, I still don't understand some
of the instrument panel (the multi-slider buttons on the heater or
ventilation system, and the other knob that controls the rear window
defroster and some kind of ventilation.)    Last week while I was running
the air conditioner, I seemed to feel warm air coming out from under the
dashboard, so I probably had the heater on at the same time.

I havent tried out any of the camping equipment, yet, but will probably try
it out after I find out about the instrument panel.

Thanks.
