United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Zermatt Silver

Thought I'd test my '58 XS last night on a long run.
Looks like they won't fold in over 70mph but will fold out at any speed.
Folded them in at 68mph and half expected them to automatically fold out as I went over 70!

Why do they fold at speed?

To contribute towards that magical low mpg for the EU tests of course Twisted Evil
