Welcome to the forum Hinton4G,

I've moved your question from New Member Area to X250 forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

From the diagram in JEPC (Parts Catalogue), it appears to be the standard Jaguar design:

Hi GGG
Thanks very much for that, but isn"t the motor shown in the diagram the one which is for the mirror adjustment ?
I think there is a another motor underneath which fold the whole assembly in towards the door when the car is locked ?

Hi Carzaddict
Many thanks for that.
It's that second (folding) motor that I want to get at, without doing any damage to the mirror assembly !
When locking the car, the mirror needs a bit of a helping hand to fold in. So I think there is a problem with the electrical contacts.

Have you tried lubricating the area with silicone spray?
