Welcome along rob

I assume they are original factory fit mirrors?

Are you sure you have powerfold mirrors fitted?

I was going to state just the same thing.

First think I'd check is the connectors are securely fitted.

Also put your ear to the mirror and listen. can you hear a motor straining?

I purchased the car two weeks ago, the switch pack was not working. I received my new switch pack today and promptly fitted it. I pressed the button and the passengers mirror closed but not the drivers. It is factory fitted unit, the car has so many extra toys!!!. Would they only fit one, the drivers can be closed and opened manually.

Are you talking about the windows or the mirrors?

Sounds like, a manual mirror may have been fitted, or the existing P/F mirror has been broken by manually pushing it in.

Many thanks for all your help. Yes it is the drivers mirror which is non operational. I manually closed the drivers mirror only after pressing the button five times, the passengers side works perfectly well. I suppose I will have to remove the mirror to investigate the problem. If the motor is broken can I get a replacement or do I have to buy a new mirror?
