Powerfold mirror.

Hi, I am looking for a fully working drivers side powerfold mirror for my 2001 75 with the bullet type shape. Can anyone help please?. John.

Still available New (if not bullet shaped) from XPart, but cost an arm and Leg.
Very rare S/H on EBay, but try giving Best of British a Ring, they did have some listed.

Thanks for the info, I will contact them today.

Those sold by Best of British are brand new and represent excellent value for money.

However, they are for LHD cars and whilst they do give an adequate view, depending upon your driving position, they benefit greatly from a small modification using the original stanchions (whether originally powerfold or not) to make them properly RHD compatible.

That's the turkey

Well spotted K man. I just couldn't find it earlier when I was intending to include the link with my previous post.

By the way, just for information, an auto-electrician friend of mine did the complete wiring for Andrew's powerfolds, start to finish, in approximately 45 minutes, with NO battered fingers and without removing the doors...AND he only charged £20 to do it.

Thats a very good price for fitting, be worth the trip up to see him for anyone wanting theses fitted.

Hi, Thanks to everyone for their help. I have bought one from B.O.B. and will attempt it shortly. It says I have to remove the door lining, is this difficult and do I need any special tools?. Can I do this on my own or is it a two person job?. Regards, John.
