Hope someone can help with my Freelander. When I select reverse gear the wing mirrors no longer tilt automatically. Any suggestions please. Ickey

On my RR L322 the mirror selector switch must be switched to drivers mirror for nearside one to dip, don't know if FL is the same?

I assume its a freelander 2 with electric seats? The seat controller controls the mirrors. Has someone pressed a different seat preset?

My 'dip for reverse' can be disabled. Check the owners manual for details in case that's what's happened here

I always disable dipping in reverse, I find it so annoying. Nothing worse the being unable to see behind you, because the bloody mirror is making me look at the rear wheel. I know where the rear wheel is, I can drive a bloody car.

It depends a degree on the position you're trying to reverse to, but I simply cannot ever see a reason why I need to see the rear wheel. I know the rear wheel is below the rear side window, I definitely don't need to check it's still there, every time I want to reverse.

hopefully the wheel hasn't fallen off! i use it all the time when parking on my drive, if I'm not close enough to the grass, I can't get my bike out, if I'm on the grass then it makes a mess. first world problems i guess.. saves opening the door when its rainingIt depends a degree on the position you're trying to reverse to, but I simply cannot ever see a reason why I need to see the rear wheel.

Similar problem, close to the wall and as far forward as possible to get the bike between the corner of the house and the back of the car.

Actually this wouldn't be a problem if I had a FL.
