Correction!!!!
Just for the record, I confused 'in' and 'out' when describing what happened. This is a corrected paragraph.
My wing mirror problem has vanished!! This is after 3 months or so with it stubbornly staying folded out when I locked the car. A few days ago a friend was showing me his newly-acquired van and pointed out that one of the wing mirrors had broken plastic and needed repairing. I pointed to my C5, parked down the road and said 'watch this-- the mirror won't fold in when I lock'. I pressed the key button...... bu**er me, it folded in! Since then it has behaved perfectly. No idea what could have caused this.

I think you'll find very few of them *without* that circuit fitted.
This is why I now drive an Octavia!
