Hi All,

Got a strange one here , went to close the mirrors in this morning using the button and only one folded.

So i pressed the button again to open it back out and the other one closed whilst the closed one opened!

Now i have a set of un synced wingmirrors.

I had to manually push the offending mirror back open in order to drive but its still happening.

Seems to be a lock of clicking and cracking noises also.

Does this mean another visit to the LR dealer or is it a easy home fix?

That happened to me and i had to put it in to the stealers to get the full mirror replaced, just by chance it was covered under warranty .....

Thought as much - i have paid for the additional warranty so i might aswell get it in the garage,

The list is growing though so now is the time :

You should try owning a RRsport then you would really know about faults  '09 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto for the Mrs

Searching for a nice E63 AMG or S8 V10 to replace my "wonky" TDV8

... or a Discovery 3, in the 3 years I owned it it was in the service for almost 6 months!

After having left my Sport in Long stay parking, they had manually pushed the mirrors in, resulting in nothing happening when I went to open them up, I had the push them out past the horrible cracking noise, hopefully it will be ok for you. Discovery 4 HSE

Did anybody solve this? I went to the dealer and their "fix" was to buy another mirror. Which to me, means spending almost $1,000 USD on it. Which is ridiculous and should be an easy fix I guess. 2008 Freelander 2 Td4 HSE Buckingham Blue

When one of the mirrrors gets hit it will close in as it does on mine and when that happens i press the button and it just moves back to the normal position so surley the answer is to force the offending mirror in to the closed position then see what happens when you press the button

If you have to have the mirror replaced then you dont have anything to lose by trying it

And IF you did have to replace the mirror, maybe its cheaper to get one via a UK dealer and have it posted than buy it locally? Discovery 4 HSE

ive tried pushing the offending mirror back then pressing the button again but to no avail.

perhaps at the weekend i will try other options including a crow bar and butter. CURRENT : FFRR 2012 4.4 TDV8

My car does this but haven't been in a situation where I need to fold the mirrors so will wait until the first service to get it rectified. Unlike Vogue Owner, I don't get any noises.

I'm sure there is something in the handbook about this. I'll have a dig when I can find it!

Some guy told me in another forum that double clicking the button should work, and that it actually says so in the manual, haven´t tried it yet.

The thing is when I force either mirror to be in the normal position, and then click the button, one of the two mirrors will stay out, and the other will fold, depending on which one i force in the normal position.

I found a dealer in the US who will sell the mirror at about $250 if this doesnt work. I´ll try the double click, and let you know. 2008 Freelander 2 Td4 HSE Buckingham Blue

The double clicking worked. Not on the first try though, I had to double click it several times, but eventually one mirror folded back out and now I have both mirrors synched again. 2008 Freelander 2 Td4 HSE Buckingham Blue

Glad you got it sorted and an excellent tip
