| Folding wing Mirrors when Locking |
|
Just picked car up from dealers where they were going to try and stop the wing mirrors folding when locking.
Seems like it cant be done. Dealer techy got on to LR techy and said its not an option of the puter.
I explained the problem when locking and having towing mirrors attached - ie they fold in and can damage the door... so they are going to raise a improvement request jobby.... I cant remember what he called it  , but hopefully LR are already aware or may be looked at in the near future. Duncan

You might loose heating and adjustment as well but not having a facelifted D3 (some call them D4s) so can't play. How's it damaging the body??  Can maybe be ar$ed a bit.

Fuse 32P (driver door) and 30P (Passenger) in the CJB.
You'll lose all mirror functions - adjust, fold, heating and approach light.
If it were mine, and it was really such a problem, I'd find the control module in the door or take out the mirror assembly and disconnect the offending wire. It's brown, if that helps at all.

too kind, I was going to be my usual helpful self and say RTFM !!!
If it's just when towing pull the fuses !! Or cut the wire and add a switch to the circuit somewhere on the door card... "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

Don't know what came over me, suddenly being all helpful like that.
Normal service will resume immediately.
RTFM.

Just cut the brown wire. Or was it red. No, blue. Definitely blue.

I also use Milenco (Grand) Aeros and they dont come anywhere near the doors when the mirrors fold in. D4 3.0 TDV6 XS Auto in Stornoway Grey with a 2000kg Buccaneer Schooner trying to hold it back ~ no chance!
