Folding mirrors????

should be able to still manually fold them back (for transporting and scrub), but how without breaking something, they are very "solid"

If you have the less powerful diesel 3 litre motor, the mirrors will not fold back electrically.

Both the mirrors and the more powerful diesel motor were packaged together in the SD model.

The saving in space when folded back is very minimal however.

Also, having them fold back is a setting - its possible that an SD when locked will have its mirrors not fold back ... its a setting after all.

Perhaps we should not have them fold back - that way we'd save the motors?!!!

When I unlock my vehicle, I only have the drivers door unlock - because that way the other three door locks aren't being actuated. They may last longer that way!!!

OK, pushed them back, not much space saved.

I've only used it when backing into a car space in an underground parking station when next to a column to get as close as possible to the left side of the car to give myself more room.

It's reassuring to look back at the vehicle and see its ears are folded back.
I know it's locked.

I was just happy about knowing it was possible to fold them back when you wanted, I didn't expect this post to last so long!
But I guess that's land Rover owners for you, get exited over nothing. Love it!

I'm embarrassed to say I folded my mirrors on the Nullabor. I wanted to save fuel.

Not true, my MY'14 TDV6 has power fold mirrors, but you are correct in saying its a setting.
