Hi
Just a couple of queries re the mirrors on a One (2011). I do not have the powerfold option but cannot seem to fold the mirrors in manually - surely they do fold in - anyone know how?
Secondly does anyone know how the heated mirrors and washer jets work? The manual says they come on automatically when the outside temperture reaches a certain level but is there a way of operating them manually?
Cheers

They do fold, but it's technically more of a tilt... I suppose there's a knack to it? ;)

If you grab the driver-side mirror, left hand over the glass, right hand on the back, then sort of turn it clockwise, slightly upwards, and slightly away from yourself, it'll fold. Hope that makes sense... :p

No, they just come on of their own accord - there's no switch. :)
