Yeah, I know all that - thanks. The issue is that it doesn't dip far enough, it only dips about a third of distance as the passenger side. I've searched online but can't find a solution anywhere. |

As far as I can remember select R then adjust the mirrors then press M and your number on the seat controls and that should save the selected position of the seat, steering wheel and mirrors . |

Just tried it on mine and it works.

Tried that before I posted and didn't work for me. I also tried it without pressing M and still nothing - sigh. It's not a massive issue but it simply doesn't dip far enough to see the kerb so have to adjust it myself (oh the inconvenience). Also tried disabling/enabling the mirrors in the menu but still nothing. Trouble is I cannot be bothered to raise it as a warranty issue with all the nonsense that entails. |

My car a, 2015 model, is the youngest LR I’ve owned but this method has worked on all the other cars. Whether something has changed after 2015 I don’t know but it certainly works on mine.

Just been out and about and tried it again (with the engine running) but still no joy. All the other memory settings such as seat, steering wheels and mirrors in normal setting are fine but it's only in reverse that the driver's mirror only dips a third of the way (but you can manually dip it further so it's not as if something is stuck). The passenger mirror fully dips. |

From KOT’s post, and my experience, it looks like something has changed, and not for the better, between 2015 and 2018. |

It's all a bit odd, I think something's probably faulty somewhere or it needs programming or blah. Gizmos in cars, great when they work, a pain to get fixed when they don't.

Make sure that the mirror is fully clipped into the plastic 'receiver' on the X/Y motor setup in the mirror housing first - it could be that the mirror has become dislodged and *thinks* it is going as far as it can down, and the normal position is correspondingly offset, too. 2017 - L405 SC - WOW! just WOW!

Seems well seated, gave it a decent shove and no give so assuming it's in the right place. Don't fancy disconnecting the battery, done that once before on a different car - nightmare when it was reconnected. |

It would seem that the MY 2017 cars, and beyond, don’t have the save feature to set the mirror position when reversing as Kot said in his post it’s not a feature of your car. I just checked the online owners manual.
