yo u might need a new Memory Seat Module. I had a similar problem a few months ago. Its a know problem and there is a TSB for it :
Quote:TSB LTB00042 issued 16th March '07
All Vehicles With Memory Mirrors VIN- range: 5A300394-7A427985
Summary:
A customer may complain of any of the following conditions:
1. Memory mirrors in the incorrect position after unlocking and entering the vehicle.
2. Memory mirrors not returning to their correct driving position after a reverse
manoeuver has been completed and the gear selector has been moved out of reverse.
3. On vehicles with manual transmission, if the gear position is left in reverse and the
ignition switched 'OFF' (and the vehicle enters sleep mode) when the ignition is next
switched 'ON' and the gear selector moved away from reverse, the mirrors incorrectly
remain in the dipped position. On the next reverse gear cycle the mirrors will recover and
will return to the correct driving position.
4. On vehicles with the 'Lazy Entry' feature enabled, the following sequence will result in
the mirrors incorrectly moving to the dipped position:
a) Ignition 'ON'.
b) Select reverse gear - mirrors move to dipped position.
c) Ignition 'ON' - auxiliary.
d) De-select reverse gear - mirrors move to driving position.
e) Lock the vehicle.
f) Unlock the vehicle - mirrors move to the dipped position (INCORRECT).
5. On vehicles with the lazy entry feature enabled, there is an issue with the normal
driving position drifting. Repeating the following sequence for a number of cycles will
result in a drift:
a) Ignition 'ON'.
b) Select reverse gear (mirrors move to dipped position).
c) Deselect reverse gear (mirrors move to driving position).
d) Ignition 'ON' - auxiliary - key-in - key-out.
e) Lock the vehicle.
f) Unlock the vehicle.
g) Key in - auxiliary.
6. On vehicles with manual transmission, if the gear position is left in reverse (mirrors
dipped) and the ignition is turned 'OFF'. If the ignition is then turned 'ON' and the engine
cranked, and the gear selector is moved out of reverse (whilst still cranking), the mirrors
do not return to the driving position.
NOTE: All other mirror issues other than those described in the Summary will require
further investigation. To be carried out as a separate Warranty Claim.
NOTE: The mirrors may be repositioned using the normal mirror adjustment functionality.
Cause: Some sequences of ignition cycles/gear positions (involving reverse) can cause
the control software within the seat module to become confused and loose the
mirror memory position, or learn an incorrect driving position.
Action: Should a customer express concern, install a new driver seat module.

I think the lazy entry needs setting up again, or its never been set in the first place. Have a good read of the manual and set the seat/mirror memories for each key. If you have already done that, then turn the Lazy Entry to off in the Settings Menu.
Oh, turn your caps lock of, its akin to shouting on the forum  _________________ Silver TDV6 HSE

Is lazy entry not where the seat automatically goes back and down when you remove the key making it easier to get out and in, then when you put the key back in the seat returns to it's memory position  _________________ I'm not as good as I once was........but I'm as good once as I ever was.

On the electric steering column if it is set to Auto you get what I will call 'Easy entry / exit' if it is set to Manual you don't. _________________ I'm not as good as I once was........but I'm as good once as I ever was.

I know it's the steering wheel but set on auto it activates easy exit/entry which is quite  _________________ I'm not as good as I once was........but I'm as good once as I ever was.
