When you try to position the side mirrors what is the method.

Hand book just says push  into the way you want them.

But they seem to just spring back to centre everytime ?

Don’t push them too far! Shouldn’t need too much adjustment, are you doing it whilst in the car?

[Mrker60]

Yes in car.

It just seems they spring back to centre.

The door mirrors sit on a ball inside the rubber gaitors.  They should be free to move in any direction, up, down, rotate, anything you like.  Usually they get a bit loose rather than too tight.  There is some backlash, so they may bounce back a bit from a small nudge, but with a larger movement they should stay put.  Any serious trouble getting them to move and there may be a problem.  If the ball is completely solid in the socket, then you may be moving the "emergency" mechanism which allows the mirror to move, and ultimately fold flat, if it is hit rather than pull a chunk out of your door.  Are both sides the same?  Try rotating (to look at the sky or floor) rather than pushing and pulling.  If it doesn't move that way then something isn't right.
