Wing mirrors

Hi guys iv only just noticed that when i move the offside mirror the nearside moves aswell. Is this the norm or are the electrics in need of repair. It doesnt move the offside mirror if i move the nearside though. Didnt ever notice this on my 2.2 so was just wondering.

Think it is normal, my facelift does anyway. Bit of a pain in the arse at times though. Not sure if the dealers can TECH2 the options to change it.

Yeah its a right pain if im parkin on the right near a curb move the mirror then check the left one i end up lookin at the floor the other side. Good idea in general and wouldnt mind really if the n/s mirror went back to the same position but its always out slightly.

I think the idea behind it is to make it eiser for adjusting for other drivers - ie if another driver is taller they would want both mirrors up to compensate for it but it is flipping annoying.

It's a "feature" that has perplexed us for some time.

Just select the left mirror switch and only the left mirror will move. Select the right mirror switch and they both move.

I do the same Mike when i park up outside the house. Still didn't stop me clonking me rear wheel AGAIN last week.

Be swapping them with yours on Saturday when your not looking!
