Have you done a search on this forum? If neither side are working then the fuse is possible culprit and I'll let others come along and point you in the right direction.

If one side switch is not working then it may just need a clean - see this thread - not difficult and did the trick for me:

PS Where in Cambs are you? There is an unofficial meet at the Duxford Air Museum this Sunday - one or two places still available I think if you're quick. Bound to be folk who can help you there.

Understood. Hopefully an electrics expert will comment soon. If you have a spare 30 mins it might be worth cleaning the driver's side switch as the How To shows you - just in case both sides have gone dirty - though I doubt that is the case. usually you lose some of the functions (eg up and down) when they need a good clean, rather than have them completely dead.

Hi my 75 done the same, sounds silly but mine was lack of use. Try pressing the mirror movement button about alot and see what happens, mine then sprung back to working.
