When I picked my car up at the weekend the electric mirros weren't working. I have just replaced the fuse only to find that the mirrors still didn't work and that me trying them just blew the new fuse.

Does this mean that the motor knackered?

If so where are they located?

Any help would be appreciated

It could be the motor(s), or it could be a wire pinced somewhere.

Start by removing the door cards, which exposes the wiring to the mirrors. Make sure that all is OK, the disconnect ONE and try again. If it still blows the fuse, reconnect, disconnect the opposite side and try again. If it STILL blows the fuse, it's likely the wiring near the switch, but could, of course, still be in either door
Check where it comes through from the footwell to the door.

At least if it STOPS blowing the fuse, you'll know which mirror, if either, is the problem.

had the door cards off and tried each mirrior individually. Both times the fuse blew again.
Checked out the wiring and all looks well so looks like its new mirrors for me.

Before doing that, try a couple of wires from +ve and -ve on the battery to the mirror terminals, to see if it will move. You only need to "flash" the wires onto the terminals to see if it starts. If either does, the fault is in the wiring.
