A rare post indeed from me but R2 has developed a problem:eek: The drivers mirror has stopped indicating and adjusting up and down but despite the fault showing in the cluster, the mirror will indicate when the mirror is folded in! I'm having it sorted at the weekend but have been warned it could be new mirror frame (innards) which is £££s. Has anyone else had a misbehaving mirror??
 
If it is Greg I'm sure Nick of Europarts would have one.
 
Yes.

There will be some broken wires inside the frame.. All repairable.
 
How do I take the wing mirror cover off, I can't remember:o
 
Many thanks Grober. I'll go and have a look!
 
The inside of the cover is screened far more than the w211 photos but I managed to get the cover off and have an explore. Inside there are two black bound sets of cables that are clipped out of the way of the auto folding mechanism. One of those sets of cables looks a bit chaffed and I reckon thats where the problem lies. Repair or replace will depen on price but its doable either way. Thanks for the tips!
