The heated mirrors on my Range rover p38 are on all the time, is there any reason for this and how do I turn them off?

are they on thier own fuse? they should/could be put on the heated screen circuit.

its no wonder the battery never gets charged and the engine consumes fuel faster than an ocean liner!!

Its another quality LR design - the loom is the fuse.

what would be best?, putting a switch for them in the cab or merging them into the heated screen loom.

prolly seperate switch but it'd be more convenient to have em on when screens are, my omega does this!

I would say a separate switch every time, a few reasons for this, your screen turns off after about 5 mins, and you could need your mirrors on a lot longer, so you don't want to be switching the screen on again and using all that juice just to heat them up again, there are times when you just need the mirrors heated, condensation or heavy rain etc
