I dont know if my memory is playing tricks on me - but do Elites have a pass door mirror which tilts downwards when the car is put into reverse?

Mine is a '99 and this feature either dont work or i'm imagining things ...........

TIA - Rob

Mine doesn't do it either, I guess you must be imagining things 

I have got into the habit of using the mirror switch when I need to park tight to a kerb and then pressing the seat memory button to put it back to normal afterwards.

[where is the Eureka smiley?] I have just realised that the smart thing to do is set memory position 1 for normal driving and memory position 2 for reversing

Istr someone (Entwood?) posting something about this.If your memory 3 position isnt normally used - set memory 3 position exactly the same as your normal position apart from the mirrors face downward.Then before you select reverse, select memory 3 and the mirrors will tilt down.

Should have read through Andys post first, as it suggests almost the same thing.

Yes he did. He nicked my idea!!! 

Memory 1 = me
Memory 2 = SWMBO
Memory 3 = me in reverse

Ok, it was my mind playing tricks. I had an Elite new in '99 and thought it had this feature - but obviously it didn't. Must have been a more recent car - but I cant remember which one. Never mind.

Good idea re memory 3 though. Think I'll do that.

Thanks guys

That's exactly what I used to have my seat set as, until SWMBO decided the Omega was too big for her to drive!  So now it's...

Memory 1 = me
Memory 2 = me in reverse
Memory 3 = me having a kip

Take any more Omegas home in the near future and It may be on setting number three permanently.

For god sake, don't give her any ideas! Mine is parked proudly on the rear lawn now... makes an excellent garden feature!!
