Not fancy just getting another drivers switch pack?

It could be repaired, but it would require a lot of time and fannying around ;)

Well normally yes but it's a power fold switch pack and everyone seems to want silly money for them

I might be wrong but are all the drivers switch pack PCBs not the same.
I’m sure I read somewhere that you just had to add the extra switch on the switch pack for powerfolds.

The pcbs are the same but there must be extra components on the board as I tried swapping the boards and got no joy but I can short the broken one with a piece of wire and get the mirrors to fold as it's the Fold switch that's damaged

Keep your eye on eBay and sale section here I've seen them sell for £20 - £30 so not silly money.
Admittedly some are overpriced on eBay at £60 - £70 but can't see them selling at that.

As you can get it work by shorting with a length of wire just solder it in place not as if you will see it when put back in casing.
Depending how fussy you want to be.
