Mirrored part has red lightning bolt - Needs Updating. What do I do?

Hi,
I've changed some sketches on a part, which I have mirrored in an assembly. However having made the changes the mirrored parts do not update, and when I open them individually they have a red lightning bolt next to the name of the part they are mirrored on, which says needs updating.

I have checked and they have an unsuppressed link with the base component.

Thanks

I've just noticed that some features in the original part, have 'i's within a circle next to them. Not sure if this has anything to do with the problem

The "i" in a circle means there's some sort of an issue with that feature or, more likely, an issue with the sketch. If you click the update icon in the ribbon bar does your part update? I find I often have to do this manual step if I change the original part without the assembly or mirrored part open. Attach the part with the "i's" here, if you can't figure out what's wrong with it.
