My Merc has all the options available except for a sunroof very rarely use any of them , everything still in working order at almost 18 years old , did think of getting an up to date sat nav disc for it but very rarely go anywhere I haven't been before.

My Mondeo has front and rear parking sensors.  I've never been beeped at so much!!   

Oh and it's also the first car I had with electric folding mirrors, which is handy to be able to tuck them in at the press of a button. 

Trouble with parking sensors front & back is that you become deaf to them continually beeping at you ..... I've even had a tree leap out  behind me ...... & I did hit it   
My mirrors fold when I lock it 

Ooo get you!   

What if you don't want to fold the mirrors when you lock it though? 

On mine, you go in to the settings and un-tick the 'Fold mirrors when locking' option. You can still manually do it on the door button or the fob. 

I think mine is a setting needing dealer diags equipment, which is a bit daft IMHO. Esp as my passenger one is getting lazy unfolding, so I'd probably be inclined not to fold when locking . And I bet a replacement mirror is the wrong side of £2k - I know the glass is well over £300

Pop the cover off with a thin bladed knife, clear the crud out, and liberally lubricate 
I've no issues so far on mine, but had to do this on my old X350 Jaaaaag - once done all ok.

Still going to keep my Omegas......better the devil you know

My Nissan has just the right amount of gadgets for me 

Bose stereo, heated seats, cruise control and speed limiter, decent satnav, colour reversing camera, voice activated bluetooth connectivity and folding door mirrors (push button)

I pretty much use everything and can`t think of anything else that I need.

That is a necessity not a desirable gadget

Can t  be. None of our cars have one ....

.....
The feature I *REALLY* miss from Omegas that is absent is the interior mirror is not on the memory system

I believe its the same on some very very expensive Mercs too ..... all for the sake of a few quid of electrickery

Bro's S type lacks said feature as well, but he said none of his cars have ever had it (Beemers)

Yeah, still not done that, despite the encouragement you gave me on another site .  I need to replace the passenger door locking solenoid first, as that's even more annoying .

I might come back to you for more detailed description of how to do the mirror, if that's OK with you?
