Hi Guys.
Having worked fine up to now, the passenger 'dipping' outside mirror now refuses to resume the normal ahead position. If I manually place it in the ordinary spot, as soon as reverse is chosen, it dips and stays that way. Coincidentally, I had occasion to replace the mirror on my last estate and that displayed the symptom from new. I know I should follow my own advice and have a look at the cabling between door and post, but what I'm really hoping for is someone to tell me it's a simple fix, quickly done !

It's not necessarily a quick fix, but I suspect that wear on the reversing light switch - which also controls the mirror - may be the fault. Often ignored, but it has solved a similar fault on 2 of my XMs.

Hi Techmanagain.
Mine's a 2.1 auto --- any idea where the reverse switch is hidden ? Mike. -------------------- XM 2.5VSX Estate RP 7185
