Whilst waiting for a lift home after booking my car in for servicing I kicked a few tyres in and outside the showroom.
I notice that the side mirrors on the new Ford range include a repeater for the turn indicators.
Presumably the occasional harmless mirror to mirror contact will involve glassware and maybe bulb replacement in future?

Where've you been hiding for much of the last decade?

Mostly in Mondeos.
I haven't noticed that type of mirror previously, maybe it is only on certain models?
Daft idea, anyway.

There's a reasonably wide range of manufacturers who've taken it on since Merc introduced it about a decade ago...
If you put them on the bit of the vehicle most likely to get knocked or vandalised, then it's good for quite a few repeat repairs, not covered by warranty, natch.
Not that I'm an old cynic or anything :-)

I reckon the electric motors are way more expensive than a 21W light bulb.

When I saw these mirrors I just wondered how much of the mirror I would have to buy to replace the glass lens. ;-) ...And how to get it apart without driving it against a wall.
£500 for my Range Rover (aslo same for D3)
Luckily i got the glass only foir £50
