Hi, here are some ideas to get some of this stuff fixed:
For the mirror, if it was a glue-on, they make a repair kit for those you can buy at the parts store.
For the A/C panel, check the 25 amp A/C fuse. Not sure if it's in engine compartment or fuse panel inside the car.
For the brake light, check the fluid level in your brake fluid reservoir. If it is low, top it off. If not, you may have a loose wire under the handbrake boot.

Let me know what you find out, and we'll go from there, and thanks for using FixYa.

Sounds like your starter is slow to disengage , but I would check with someone who is handy with cars , not necessarily a mechanic , just someone who can confirm your assessment and my suspicion. If that's the case , you might have to replace the starter. This problem could damage the ring gear on the engine which would be a lot of $ to have replaced.

I had a similiar problem myself, and had the Glow plugs replaced, and this solved the problem.

Very, very difficult re-threading an engine block. Not impossible, but very difficult and not usually performed by the DIY. That said take one of your spark plugs down to your nearest hardware store, one that sells loose nuts & bolts. Try screwing the spark plug into nuts of the proper size until you "match" the thread pattern. Do be afraid to ask for assistance from one of the experienced clerks (its free). The matching thread pattern on the nut will tell you the proper thread size. There are at least a couple different thread sizes and patterns. You may or may not be able to get th tool to clean the threads at the same location. My guess is that they will have the smaller sizes, and you may need to find a more specialized store to find the larger size tools.
