| Nearside Wing Mirror dropping. |
|
All
I’m having intermittent ‘goings on’ with the nearside wing mirror on my 55plate D3HSE.
Very occasionally, I get up to the top of my road after reversing out of my drive in the morning, and only then notice that the nearside wing mirror has adjusted itself right down as far as it will go. I attempt to check it every morning when I first get in the car but normally forget on the mornings when it happens. I turn my head around instead of using the mirrors to reverse, so I’m not sure if it’s happening overnight or in the process of me starting up and getting to the top of my road.
When it happens I use the adjuster on the drivers door to raise it back up and all is well again for days or weeks at a time.
I understand there may be some sort of auto function to dip the mirrors when in reverse, but haven’t found it in my handbook, just recall some mention of it on here, so it could be some sort of malfunction related to that. However I’m sure that the mirrors don’t dip and then go back every time I use reverse.
Any Thoughts?
Thanks

I have had a similar problem with mine, but it was the offside mirror. Mine was (seemingly, touch wood and all that) cured when it was found that a wire had been trapped under the driver's seat and was "shorting", causing the mirror to self-adjust.
Hope that points you in the right direction.

I never did sort out this issue, despite checking the cable runs under both seats, (thanks anyway Nigel)
It does it about once a week now in any kind of weather, and I can't tie it down to any other event or anything else happening in the car at the same time.
I have however found that it does it after I've driven off, normally after about 30seconds, and is not dependant on the car having been warmed up thouroughly before driving off or just jumping in and going.
It's starting to get a bit annoying now.

look in your settings menu and see if you have it set for "rear mirror dip " if so turn it off as when you put your car in reverse your mirrors dip down so you can see the curb side and when you drive forward some times like mine  they dont reset always up to somert usualy no good acording to swmbo

Thanks Steve, but unfortunately it's not that.
The mirror is dipping even when I've not had the car in reverse.

I'm getting to enjoy this now.
The last two times it's done it - it's gone up rather than down 
Who needs predictable when unpredictable is so much fun?

Spooky - wife's 56-plate metropolis just started doing this for me too. 
Set the seat to my setting..... nearside mirror pointing floorwards. Manually adjusted it and reset the memory.
Next time I got into it - set the seat to my setting, and the nearside mirror went hunting for satellites.

my passenger side wing mirror moves as far out as it can randomly. Some mornings its fine - others not. LR have looked at it 3 times and cant find a fault. they refused to change the control module or motors. I just live with it now - annoying though it is.

odd things land rover mirrors
might be worth resetting all mirror and seat memory positions
there was a TB for the mirrors not returning after dipping for reverse.
mine from new went write down to the bottom on dip so reprogrammed this the other day and been ok since.
select mem 1 (or any other) then select reverse and mirrors will dip. then manually adjust mirrors to where you want them = then press memory store and memory 1.
but in your case does sound like a short somewhere or faulty swicth. try turning the adjustment switch to the 0 postion and see if that helps
