Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Drivers door mirror only moving in one plane horizontal/side to side - anyone had this problem - wondered if there might be a fix, or otherwise what's the cheapest way to renew the motor - indeed can it be renewed on its own or am I having to consider a new assembly? Also, I know the passenger parking mirror should dip when a manual car is put in reverse - does this apply on the Tip as well (98 C2)? If so mine isn't working - is there a way to program it? Thanks. J

POST 2Original post

Yes, you can buy the motor separately. There are two versions, depending on whether you have seat memory or not. However, I would check the wiring connections at the motor first. There is also round multi-pole plug just behind the mirror position adjuster, and you could check that too.- Yes, the passenger mirror should dip in reverse if you have seat memory.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard I do indeed have the magic memory seats - I will experiment further at the weekend. J
