Thanks David. I have found this out by experience! I now have a UK passenger mirror which makes everything look miles away. I need to sort out whether I can exchange the mirror glass for the correct type, but at the moment am glad to be able to see out of it. My first challenge is to find time to change my front and rear discs and pads and fit my newly delivered Moog front upper wishbone arms - as well as numerous jobs on my two 80 Landcruisers.

Thanks for the responses. The summary is that I have bought, had sprayed and fitted the wrong mirror!! :( Mine is a March 1999 car and definitely had folding mirrors - promise. I am now going to see if I can find a UK folding mechanism and transfer the rest from the one I have bought and sprayed.

Hi Someone smashed my near side (passenger) door mirror. Not wanting to pay a Lexus main dealer £350 for a new one I sourced a 2nd had unit in the US and had it sprayed when it arrived. I then went through all the door panel removal and fitted it. However, when I went out in the car there were two issues: 1/ The mirror won't adjust in enough to set it correctly for a right hand drive car. So, did LHD cars have the motors set up differently as they do not need to turn in as much for the drivers side as the passenger side? Or, is there a way of setting to mirror so that it will adjust enough? 2/ The mirror will not fold in. Did Lexus make any mirrors for the US market which did not fold in or is this a fault with the mirror I have purchased? It is the correct 11 pin (auto dipping for a 1999 Mark 4) unit If anyone can help with the above I would be very grateful,as I can't live with either problem for long! Thanks Nick

Hi. Telepathy!. I just re-joined(having lost my old and very old sign in details in order to ask a question about an LS400 wing mirror I have just changed and still have issues with - and saw your post. Take a look at this: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-3rd-gen-2001-2006/575041-diy-door-inner-handle-lock-cable-repair-2001-ls430.html My tip before you start is to make sure you have a strong slim plastic implement to remove the inserts and put a white sheet on the ground below the door to catch the screws you will drop and to rest the panel on when you take it off. Apart from that it is easy if you allow yourself 90 minutes Good luck!
