Lecky mirrors question

[mowgli]

Has anybody had problems with theirs?  I "might" be getting an R reg 8v with a duff passenger mirror, right hand one is OK so that rules out the 4 position switch on the door.

That leaves the selector button on the right hand door or the motor itself, any help would be appreciated.

IF IT IS A MK4 GOLF, IT IS PROLLY THE WINDOW REGULATOR WHICH HAS GONE, U NEED TO FIND OUT IF THE MOTOR IS MAKING A NOISE OR NOT

GARY

Erm, i would say it's unlikey that the window regulator is involved here!

Firstly make sure each mirror doesn't have a seperate fuse.? I doubt they have but i would still check!

It may be difficult to test the switch if it's not your car as i think you have to take most of the door card off to get at it.? However i suppose it's only a sort of rocker switch to connect either circuit so there's not really much that can go wrong with it.

The other cheap fix would be a loose connection somewhere.

If not, it's the motor.? Just phone VW and get a price for a motor and use that to haggle on the price of the car.? I think the motor is the most likely thing to be at fault.

SORRY READ IT WRONG

[mowgli]

I thank you, its not going to be a deal breaker to be honest.  Its got the colour, no of doors, low miles, full history, A/C and my preference of wheels...

[jte]

What colour is it?  How many doors? How many miles? which wheels?

sorry, just being nosey!

[mowgli]

Be as nosey as you like, no problem

Its an 8v (I'm happy with that, personal reasons for the choice)
Chilli Red (?)
5 door
61K from new
97 R reg
FVWSH same dealer and supplier, even got the original books and radio/cassette
2 owners
Tax and MOT
Aircon
Very good condition throughout
BBS solitudes
Just had the 60K cambelt incl service

I will be chuffed to bits, the fella is eyeing upa some A3's over the weekend so it should be wrapped up over the next couple of weeks

You have good taste in wheels!

Good luck, i hope you get it.
