Have you got o/s and n/s electric mirrors??

Set the mirror/s, remove the plug on the rear of the switch and check..

Could be one of the switches is permanently “on”, jammed, with one or both mirrors set at max adjustment.

not tried it at night yet, took me 5 hours to get it 120 miles home tonight so will check for a light tomorrow :)

Could well be on max adjustment, it's only the n/s and i'm a bugger for a good old fashioned shoulder check :lol:

thankyou for all the suggestions, I don't know where I'd be without this club sometimes :)

oh, there's quite a lot of BXP you can't see! We're all quite sick on there really.. Bloody good laugh though..
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...
