Hi guys,

Just recently bought a 2000 ML 320, thanks for the help with the space-saver spare it was very much appreciated. :smile:

I’ve noticed that the nearside door mirror doesn’t fold back or manoeuvre for adjustment, I’m assuming that the motor is the problem, is this a relatively easy fix for someone with quite good DIY skills or is it best left to Mercedes?

Some idea of cost will also be a boon.

Many thanks and a merry Xmas to you all. :D

Thanks for the responses guys,

Television, nothing works on that mirror, even with the selector switch pointing.


Mioba, that's really strange, I know some cars have the nearside mirror dip automatically when reverse is selected so you can see the kerb but never heard of the quirk you mention, I tried it anyway but to no avail.
