E70 passenger side mirror revers angle motor not working
Posted: Tue Jul 28, 2015 3:54 pm
Hi Guys
Just back from hols , car idle for 2 weeks and when reversing the passenger(Lhs) mirror has stopped auto adjusting to allow view of the kerb. The manually controlled remote adjustment still operatesfrom the door control but only inwards/outwardsplane of motion. I've stripped down the mirror and there's only 1 motor which is obviuosly still functioning as there is still motion on the in out range and the remote folding still operates.. Presumably there is wear within the drive which is preventing the up/down range of motion ? The auto fold still works. Anybody ever stripped one of these down? Are spares available ? How much for a new motor?
An alternative would be to swap over the RHS motor for the LHS one as I never really adjust the drivers side but really do miss the "kerb avoidance" benefit of the auto adjust.
Any thoughts suggestions greatly appreciated
Cheers
