Re: Folding mirror prob

Well pressed the button again today and they both folded in :). Are they ment to auto fold when you lock the car or does this need to be programmed in?

Folding mirror prob

When I lock my car the mirrors dont fold in. When I press the button on the drivers door the passanger one folds in the out again and the drivers one doesnt move at all. Will this problem be down to the micro switches in the mirrors or am I looking at something a bit more serious?

Thanks

Re: 2004 X5

Had a couple of little probs with it, had a couple of bulbs go on it, one being the passenger side front side light (what a expensive bulb to get) amd the washer fluid thought it would be a good idea to dump its 7 ...

Re: Coolant top up

Its best to top uo with the same colour anti freeze already in the car.  Usually pink or blue. Best bet is to pop to your local Euro Car Parts if there is one local or Halfords and grab a bottle from there. Failing that either ebay or I think euro car parts will deliver.
