Are those gearboxes prone to failure?

when in reverse, adjust the mirrors to the angle you want, leave one of them selected. put it in drive, the mirrors should move back to their original position. keep a mirror selected and put in reverse and the mirrors will dip. if you don't want them to dip just make sure no mirror is selected.

Well, I found it interesting to be able to compare the Mk4 with my Mk3. However, any possible debate as to which to own has resolved itself through two factors: 1) The Mk4 owner decided not sell, and to be quite honest with the money he's put into it I can't blame him at all. 2) My Mk3 passed its MoT today, with apparently just a bit of headlamp alignment required. I was somewhat surprised, I'd given it no preparation whatsoever, and it came as a welcome relief after my wife's 2002 Accord incurred us a rather hefty bill for an MoT and service earlier in the week. I ended up using the Lexus for everyday duties for much of the week, not ideal weather for a powerful RWD car on icy/greasy country roads but it coped admirably. Understandably I'm rather pleased that I can keep using it and will now put a little bit of effort into getting its various minor issues sorted.

Mark 3 is just FINE for general use really! Comfortable, quick when needed.... Road conditions in U.K. mean that comfort a priority now? Warmth and good hi-fi! Setright had a philosophy about how passengers felt in cars and....they feel great in an LS!
