Hi all,

I drop my RR down to Low and turn off engine, hop out and lock the door. RR is parked on a level surface.

But next day i come out and the front is still low, but rear is on max High.

Please how does the RR wake up when it is switched off to level the RR when it should be asleep waiting for my return.

I have a photo but no idea how to add it here

When I am released from Lockdown I will be visiting another local RR who has offered to help me setup the levelling system

cheers

Hi everyone,

super news and I now have a replacement passenger mirror dipping. Interesting it did not more until I did save memory 1, then it worked and dipped, so happy.

cheers everyone and stay safe, now going to figure out the next challenge as I have many lined up as loving my 4.6 v8 now we have cheaper unleaded fuel

Neil

Just found

Slide mirror glass sideways (against a spring) from the car window towards the outside
unclip heated mirror wires on rear of glass
3 small phillips scres to remove motor mount
4 black philips that holds the mirror case to the mirror frame
Close mirror (towards window) and theres a black phillips from underneath mirror case upwards
The mirror casing/housing will now wiggle away from the mirror frame...
Lots easier to colour code and no masking at all...

But, any idea how to flip the black plastic from the bottom to enable me to get at the wiring in the central hinge please

Hi all,

I've taken all the screws out but I cannot remove the electrickery bit from the mirror to swap it over. My wiring is 10 wires from car to mirror and the mirror is 10 wire too.

I've thoughts of spraying the whole lot in electrical cleaner, but I also thought how do i remove the electrical bit but the grey plastic and green surround will not come apart and I cannot get the coils outs, all screws are out in both units, the head and the fitting to the car.

Is this a case of pinging out with a screwdriver or are there hidden screws

cheers
Neil

Sounds like when I did the left hand mirror on my Porsche 928 as I had to rewire in-place with the mirror wrapped up in cloth and taped to the car. I really re-learnt how to do good soldering and wire wrap sleeving then.

I will get one of these now and probably add the plastic glass holder.

Interesting as I can see 6, 10 and 13 pins, so suppose I will need the 13 pin unit

cheers Neil

Hi everyone, and thank ups all for your advice

I can say a few mirrors used on eBay with 12 pin . Please is it possible to remove the innards from a mirror unit and install in mine with my glass.

I have no idea why my mirror goes up but I'd love it to go down and all go for a replacement innards from eBay if this will solve my problem.

I love the dipping as I do not toe.

cheers

Hi all,

Thank you - Lets start at the beginning. The fuse box used to loose power, so every week everything reset, like the windows has to be reset to go up and down automatically.

so, the memory function never worked and if it did, it just got lost all of the time. But, I then took my fuse box apart, cleaned it all and now the power is on all the time and I never loose the memory function. My windows always automatically work and hence the mirror started doing this going up business.

So, looks like I have the wrong mirror stuff inside, I am happy to take this apart, please which bit should I need for passenger (left side mirror) to purchase to get this working as I do love the mirror drop feature, especially as I have not fitted my reversing sensors yet.

Cheers all, stay safe

Neil

Hi all,
Now my fusebox is on all of the time, no connection issues, it used to drop power when I locked the car .

       When I put my RR P38 4.6 1995 into reverse, on all normal cars the mirror drops to the memory saved position. BUT on my RR the mirror goes UP when I put in reverse.

       I have saved the memory many times and saved the reverse position too many times.   But up it goes instead of down.. It makes me smile when it happens but it is definitely annoying when I am reversing.

      Ideas, gratefully received, otherwise a computer will need to be kicked, expensively .... Although, I would have to think it is the one under a seat, ?

cheers
Neil

Fabulous idea, 18mm it will be and slightly lower at the front, maybe even rear as our bumpers are above most others bumpers, especially where the tow hook is concerned.

lets see if I can find 18mm in Epsom green - Wish me luck
cheers
Neil

Please do these cheap sensors fit into a painted P38 bumper front and back

cheers
Neil

Hi all,

I have 1995 N Reg Biography in Epsom Green with painted bumpers. I really need to add parking sensors preferably front and rear that blend in hopefully unnoticeable.

Please has anyone fitted to painted bumpers and can recommend. I only need bleeping sensors as I have to park at my local train station in some via tight on-road parking.

I am easily able as an engineer to drill holes and wire up electrics if anyone can recommend a good supplier.

kind regards
Neil

Hi All so far,

Thank you all,

On 23rd I am in Orpington and then dog sitting so not good, thank you so much

I will try Crowborough and then I hope to visit Twickenham, although I normally stay outside of London, but I will visit if I can help my P38

Kind regards
Neil

Hi all,

I'd love someone relatively near me to drive my RR P38

I have no idea what a well sorted P38 feels like. Mine is 4.6 V8 1995 and it is slow, very slow, especially on hills, plus its ride quality is poor.

Hope I'm not the only one in this area ?

kind regards
Neil
