Heated mirrors.

Hi all .
I have just read on another Site,:oops: that all F's have heated mirrors and that they are constantly on. Can anyone confirm if this is the case.

Yep this is quite true.

And surprising how long they last considering they are on all the time - both still work on my 1999 MGF

Are they worth having and are they adjusted manually or by electric?

In my experience of Austin, Rover and MG fitted with electrically adjustable mirrors also had automaticly heated mirrors (except some 45's), manualy adjusted mirrors are not heated.

I can't comment on the ones on my F, I've never tried them to see if they are heated even though they are manual.

I think they're all heated, manual and electrically adjustable ones.:yesnod:

I believe they're on if the ignition's on.

Correct, page 22 of the owner's manual confirms this.

Manual and electrically adjustable both have heated glass - the manual has two wires coming from it - the adjustable ones a few more.

Yes definitely worth having, they clear ice or even misting very quickly. My MGF has manually adjusted mirrors but they are heated, on the TF it both heats and electrically adjusts.
