So the car is a 1993 320i cab...
When i try to adjust the mirrors i justa get a clicking sound from both mirrors!
I have changed the complete mirrors, relay, fuse and the switch... But the problem is still there!
Anybody come across this problem before?
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks saj

You started with one problem, and now potentially have several, as a result of all the random part swapping. As I've said on here many times before, TEST, not replace, until the fault is fully identified.
Pull out the switch, unplug it, and connect a 12 volt bulb of around 5W - 21W, NOT a meter, between the green/white wire on pin 4 of the plug and the brown wire on pin 2.
Switch on the ignition and check that it lights at full brightness. Lightly move the wiring loom between the A pillar and the door, and check that the movement doesn't affect things.
