Re: Sodding rust!!!
I think the TXD has more basic interior, no splitter and no spoiler...
I have a TZD lined up down Merthyr T, might borrow you to have a squiz round it Bandit...

Only the valver / GTi 8V had leccy both sides, and even then the drivers side was optional on GTi's..

Notice the bit that made it plural was in brackets?
Is the wiring in the doors though?

Erm, all my GTi 8v's (E reg on) have had electric mirrors on both sides switchable by the inconvenient panel on the lower dash.docchevron132 wrote:and even then the drivers side was optional on GTi's..

Never had the electric bonnet opener of which you speak but do have an underbonnet glow-worm.

Re: Sodding rust!!!
W2G, I think you have mis-understood. Chris was talking about the electronic map next to the coin tray, that tells you if the doors/ bonnet/ boot are open.

Ah yes, I took him to mean the electric locks on doors and boot. Understand now, not sure what you call it on Cits but a term used elsewhere is 'mimic diagram' . ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Smiffy, the wiring is present but needs modification - if you simply plug in a driver's mirror it will move in exactly the same way, at the same time as the passenger one! My guess this is so that part of the loom would be the same on RHD and LHD cars, them could just put in the relevant electric mirror without any other mods.

Re: Sodding rust!!!
/\ Maybe that's cos of the un-twin mirror switch? I must admit, I didn't know there were two types of switch?! I've also been tempted to change my drivers side to leccy, but I kinda like the manual in a way
Anyways, what's this TZD in Tydfil Jay? What's the plan mofo?

Re: Sodding rust!!!
Nope, the wiring from the original switch splits into 2 behind the glovebox and then goes to each mirror. Can't remember what happens if you mod the wiring and keep the original switch though.Bx Bandit wrote:/\ Maybe that's cos of the un-twin mirror switch?
I think I have a brand new drivers electric mirror somewhere, I've been planning to fit it as the heated bit doesn't work in mine. It's not been a pressing issue as I don't have the heated mirror wiring, and I don't think I'll ever get round to it...

Re: Sodding rust!!!
the loom was standard fitment, hence went to both doors, the switch was bridged out to by pass the side selector switch since if it only has one mirror you dont actually need the switch. I guess it was cheaper to bridge the switch than make another switch..
According to the 1990 brouchure drivers side leccy was optional on everything bar the valver.
Even P1 valvers had manualdrivers mirrors..
