Re: Folding door mirrors

Thank to responders. I slipped into local Halfords and bought some GT85. Only £4. Gave a thirty second spray to both sides and they worked ok for about six tries. Hopefully that's it. If it lasts I will give them a squirt every month so. I went to a different car wash the day before the problem aros...

I suddenly have a problem with my folding mirrors. The driver's side will only retract about a third of normal. The other side will only extend about a third of normal. I called up CX3 folding mirrors on google and got the following which is a bit unclear. Quote "to reset power mirrors press an...

Re: Reversing camera stopped working

I went out a couple of this after this request made. I was intending to to a bit of what an old RAF CO of mine used to call percussion adjustment (ie hitting it with something) on the off chance it was a loose connection. To my surprise it has started to work again anyway

Using fob key

I just changed the fob battery and it occurred to me that I had never used the door key to see if it worked. I happily went to my car, put the key in the door and turned it.
