Is there anyway I can replace my non-electric wing mirrors with electric fold in ones on my CD 2.2 saloon I  am disabled and have arthritis  this would make it a lot easier for me if it could be done  thanks

Not a viable option and they don't fold in that much anyway.

TO be honest as a guy in his early 30s with no signs of arthur (yet) I never use my hands to push them in, I tend to lean against them with my posterior.

I have, however, thought about retro-fitting this option before, though it appears a vast amount of trouble/beyond me. I recall one guy actually ordered some from Scandinavia at a fair expense (got knows what he does when the motors break) but it was a long time ago. Might be on the old site, even.

Never an option for U.K spec cars for electric fold in mirrors, as said though you gain very little when they are folded.

I do the above though, I just lean on them to move them

I am assuming the folding was meant more for taking some energy from a potential impact when then get clouted by a passing cardriver/drunk/drunk cardriver, rather than to fold in to actually save space. I know Cavaliers were odd, they sort of pinged off with a loud clatter/snap noise, and hung down on what appeared to be two thick bits of wire coat hanger, flapping in the breeze.
