Just been out this morning .... was following a newish Freelander 2 MY10 ....... when I noticed his wing mirrors were in the closed locked position ????

How does that happen. Failure some where ??

I don't think he saw me .....lol

They forgot to press both mirror buttons simultaneously, after doing the same to fold them in. I forget sometimes after leaving my garage. Also sometimes forget to fold them in to avoid scraping the side of the garage when entering. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I tend to leave them "in"when using narrow lanes where passing can be tight,then put them back out when I get to a normal road.whether its legal or not makes no difference as you have the rearview mirror, and no one can pass anyway. gone

Might have been trying to save mpg  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Having been driving a Chrysler Grand Voyager for 5 yrs, I got into a habit of having to close them, rather than lose them.

Found out how to do it on my 07.

However, I have discovered, that the buttons don't respond to the close them if you are not in first gear???

On one of my big 650cc scooters I had electrically folding mirrors. With the mirrors out, fully loaded with tall screen, top box and touring gear I could reach a true (satnav) speed of 99mph. Folded them in and I hit 101mph so it probably had an effect on the MPG although probably wouldn't do much for a FL2! .  Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
