Just add in here, Flimper was after some (still meant to be getting pics of mine, but struggling with time).

For those post 04 cars out there, wiring is indeed required, along with unlocking/coding. I was quoted £350 to do it to mine but have since put the money into knocking down my garage :headbang:

Are these suitable for an M? What colour are they? Mine are indeed playing up at the moment

They are indeed - same for non and M. They're black and I'll finally get those photos for you this weekend, but not to hijack Mat's thread...

Thanks all guys i won’t be setting up a donation thingy bob for 2 reasons i don’t know how. And it seems a bit off asking people to pay for my car mods!!

Matt, just go to http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/how-it-works and setup an account and post the dlink to your page...

Don't worry about the 'seems a bit off asking people to pay for my car mods!!' bit - this is a forum, you've helped lots of people and they may see this as an opportunity to return the favour

Thanks Perry

I will think it over and I might give it a whirl tomorrow. I really don't want people to feel they have to!! I am not to proud to take help.

Understood. But get urself sorted with a crowdfund account asap so we can donate some cash to you. Youve already had pledges in this thread and i'm sure more will chip in! Then you can buy the bits you need and keep hold of the mirrors. Nothing ventured nothing gained ;)
 
I don't know you Matt. But in the short time I have been a member I have had a lot of useful and friendly advice from forum members. It's great to belong to a community where people genuinely want to help. I would be very pleased to chip in. Good luck with it all and please let us know if you set up a crowd funding account.

From opening page of post :thumbsup:


I am removing no essential weight and unnecessary luxuries from my car. And i am skint and need a few things to finish of my build. In this case a wide band sensor and gauge. So i am offering for sale (and swap for your mirrors and switch) my power fold mirrors switch and control module. I would like £250 for the lot (seen single mirrors like this going for £130 without the module. I am as always open to offers i can only say yes or no.

I believe if your car is pre October 2004 these will be a straight swap. Later cars you will have to do some research. I am happy to remove any looms if easy to do so. I believe but will check the colour coded covers should come off so swapping should be easy.

The outer shells do remove - you would need to take the mirrors out first but there are a few torx bolts holding it all together. I removed mine when I tried a rubberised paint wrap a couple of years back.

How do you take the mirrors out? Just so I don't brake them!!

There's a sliding lock in the top part of the mirror - not easy to see, but you need to rotate the mirror to point towards the floor, then slide the lock to the left - it looks like a piece of plastic with a grove cut into it. I used a small electrical mains tester screwdriver as it fitted easily. You may want to put some masking tape on the mirror & housing in case you slip!

Once it slides left, the mirror should the come straight out. You will see some torx bolts to the left (looking a tad rusty) holding the black plastic mechanism to the red housing, there are others but you'll need to check (its a couple of years since I removed the shell, & old age is kicking in...) :

Also, don't forget the torx bolt underneath!!
