Default Newbie clocking on.

Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie who has only just twigged that this site was around.
I have a 2014 Jag XF 3 litre Diesel, and I live in Norwich United Kingdom, and am retired.
The XF is a great car and probably the best I've had so far. There is very little about it which I could complain about, apart from one aspect.

I'm having trouble with one of the auto folding wing mirrors. One of them will not fold back in when the car is locked, without my manual assistance !
I think there is a problem with the folding motor, but I can't see how to access it.
If any kind soul could give me some advice on this, I would be very grateful.
Many thanks
Hinton4G

Welcome. So, you just need to get it started folding, but then it goes? Or does it need help all along? Id look for something wedged in the joint like maybe a small twig or some other debris. I'm sure the xf section will have your exact diagnosis. Good luck.
