Not in my BSI there wasnt  |
What year is your BSI? Someone showed me there folding mirrors when locked on there Rolland Garros at a meet once. I think he had it wired to do it though, rather than with a BSI configuration. |
Would be GaRG, he had it wired in I believe.
Are there any 'tweaks' available for a 2000 car or is it mainly the later ones? |
There you are correct. Steve: GazRG has done it, his How-to/Progress thread should still be floating around somehwere. 
Edit: Here it is: www.206info.co.uk/Foru...gazrg.html

But would it fold the mirrors if he pressed the locks down on the inside? Hmm.

True. After both the motors in my GT mirrors died I have taken them off and gone for normal electric mirrors anyway 
Still got the switch so one day may just put them back on as it's plug and play
And cheers, will drop him a PM to see what can be done on mine

It was me. I had a V-reg RG, and yeah it was wired in with a series of relays.

About the mirrors? They're wired in just need mirrors putting on and they'll work lol.
I've asked what's available for mine and the answer is not a lot to be honest haha so not going to bother.

If the front wipers are ON & you then select reverse gear, the rear wiper will be turned on so it clears any rain from the rear screen.
Just a feature a lot of new cars have, saves you being lazy & having to twist the stalk

Yeah the setting isn't available on non-plexed, but could easily be retrofitted with a few wires and a bit of solder
