Can these be repaired? Have an intermittent fault where the passenger mirror will fold up but not fold down again. Been told they can't be serviced and I will have to buy new, but have no intention of paying £800!

That seems quite high. We had to buy a whole new unit after some tw@t swiped it off. It was about £500 and I think that was fitted. Even if that was ex VAT, that is quite a bit less than £800. From a main dealer as well.

Had this on my Z4 about a year ago & sprayed a load of silicone lube into the rotating joint, worked it back and forwards a few times and it has been fine since. Not sure if it’s the best stuff to use but it did the job.
