It gets its power from the car battery.

Check the wiring to it hasnt come loose. On most cars i think its 3 wires and a 3 or 5v feed. Test if its getting power.

If its getting power the light sensor in the mirror may have gone faulty.

It was also an option on the 4.7, mine has a standard mirror - what a thing to economise on in a luxury sedan….

I was only joking! Thought spoonman might be pleased it was one thing he didn’t have to worry about (apart from being underpowered) :cool:

power isn't everything as I proved on Sunday. Stopping is. ;)

ps I'm not worried and I guess you wouldn't be either, my car is worth about the same price as one of your fat cigars

Funnily enough, he didn’t mention Renaults...

Not that I know what cars you own, but you will be more than surprised on a track. It didn't take much effort to keep two R8 V10s at bay. Until my brakes broke that is....

Still smoking is for the easily led. The Cuba guy is also easily led.

Sooo, for Mr Spoon's benefit. That Cuba Guy is Fidel Castro brother of Raul, and a good mate of Che Guevara, who was 'That T-Shirt Guy'.
