As above, easy fix even if you have limited mechanical skills like myself. I got my wife's from honda, wasn't expensive at all.

True. It's about £35.

The Honda Bulletin with the SOD part number is in this thread: http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/s...ing-guide-check-list-for-the-FN2-Civic-Type-R

Honda replaced mine under warranty. It seems to be a common complaint

this might seem dopey but my mirrors fold automatically when I turn engine off unlock doors to unfold chap at work has 60 plate type r and reckons he has to press button on door to fold mirrors surely he is wrong and they fold automatically

You can wire in a module that folds them automatically. A chap on Civinfo sells them.

The previous owner probably fitted it.

Normally you do have to press the button on the arm rest above the window switches.
