Discovery 4.5 Mirror not folding out - please help!

Hi all,

so I have developed a fault in the discovery where the discovery 4.5 mirror folds in but struggles to fold out, I hear the motor whining for longer than it should when its attempting to fold out but nothing really happens, it moves for a split second but nothing happens. does anyone know how i could fix it? I've opened the entire mirror and had a look at the folding motor but i cant see to open it, its somehow attached together?

any help is appreciated!

have you tried a good squirt of silican based lubricant into the gap between the mirror and the arm ? that quite often sorts it as its a common problem on D4 and Freelander 2 as well
