Electric mirrors - one up & one down

gtr1000 · Oct 6th, 2009, 10:47

Hi all, and my first post. I've searched the forum for an answer but no luck so here goes...

My V70 2.0D SE has less than 100 miles on it and has already had a trip to the stealers.

Picked car up last Saturday, set mirrors and drivers seat positions into memory #1 and then went to get some derv. Got back in car and n/s mirror was pointing to the ground whilst the o/s mirror was looking for planes in the sky. Pressed #1 again, and mirrors re-set.

Next day on motorway, looked in mirrors and all OK. Looked again 30 seconds later and just about to overtake and yes, n/s pointing to ground and o/s towards the sky.

Dealer says they can't find anything wrong and look at me as if I'm from another planet.

Has anybody else ever had this and if so, what's the magic solution so as I can inform the wonderful stealer?

Your not knocking the buttons in the car are you? Sensors being reset due to fault of power spikes?

Aren't modern car electronics great!! Thats an interesting one - must be a dodgy connection somewhere surely?

Do I feel a knob or what?

I've got my settings in #1, the wife's in #2. So I thought I'd try #3 to see what was stored in the memory.

And guess what the mirrors did? Doh!!

Sorry guys.

I can sleep now. haha The main thing is you sorted it, nothing worse than something happening and not giving a reason why.
