Anyone know where I can get replacement internals for the mirrors on my 1986 350i mk11. TVR stopped supplying them 4 yrs ago. Or does anyone know of any other motors hich cn be adapted to fit?

Obscure Rover SD1 (Britax). Easy to find a 420 SEAC with just delivery mileage though...

My '87 390SE has some French things fitted: the method of operation, and the dashboard controls are the same as Ford Granada of the time. Also my bro had a SAAB 9000; the wiring was identical down to the colours used. The 'motors' may be as used by Citroen et al, perhaps?
I did send an article on the mirrors to Wedgepages but I think Mike B. must still be busy with this new house....

I had my old cars ones apart. Bit of a pain but had access to bench power supplies to play and got it working. The one in question contained one motor for both axis adjustment through a clutch and solenoid. A detent spring on a ratchet was slack. Tightened up and OK. Recently I enquired along the same lines for my currant car on here and after several good replies I decided to push it into position. No access to a power supply anymore to play and too cheap to buy one (power supply)
It is something I will do but not on the top of the list.

PS the clutch/solenoid bit was dirty which also affected things as it tried to throw the clutch to an axis movement.
