Hello and welcome to the site ;D

We've not got to the bottom of this one yet.
Some have replaced the mirror and it has cured the problem, some have fitted a good mirror known to work and it behaves in exactly the same way.

It could be an internal mirror problem or possibly the wiring or whatever controls it.

Its a trial and error one i'm afraid ;D

Has anybody tried to cure it by disconnecting the battery for half an hour or so, it could be that the stored settings could have gone higledipoop.. ::). worth a try anyway....

We've tried all that Pete, I think it was Cossie_guy who had a problem and really looked into it in depth last year sometime but never found the answer, will have a look for the old thread
