Heated door mirrors

Does anyone know does the Freelander 2 have heated door mirrors? I dont think it does, I just assumed it would have!

Yes, some trim levels in some years have heated door mirrors. My 2007 GS has.

Exterior Mirror Heating
Exterior mirror heating is provided with heater elements bonded to the back of the mirror glass. Power supply for the mirror
heating elements is provided by the corresponding driver or passenger door control module via the AJB.
The door control modules receive a power supply from the AJB, and are both connected on the medium speed CAN bus to
the ATC module. A ground terminal from each door control module completes the circuit. The ATC module automatically
controls the mirror heating function whenever the ignition is in power mode 4 (Accessory) and power mode 6 (Ignition).
For additional information, refer to: Control Components (412-01 Climate Control, Description and Operation).

Id be surprised if all the FL2 didnt have heated door mirrors - its been a pretty basic function for the last 35 years Jules

Tell that to European van makers! No rear view mirror (because there are no rear windows) and no heaters in the door mirrors that are the only way of seeing behind.

2009 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Rimini Red

Only the base spec Freel2 doesn't have heated mirrors. Anything over the base model (TR equipped models) do have them. They work either automatically when the external temperature drops below 5°C, or can be manually activated by putting the heated rear screen on. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is a wire left unplugged. Not worth making different parts.

A bit like footwell light globes left out in pauper models. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

You're probably right, but I expect they're simply not activated in the CCFs. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.

Just replaced both of mine a couple of days ago. Just now thought about checking the resistance both original fittings. The replacements are E Bay Specials.

The Left Hand Mirror passengers side was working fine it gives a reading of 127 Ohm

The Right Hand one drivers side wasn't it took an age to clear itself, It gives 33 Ohm,

I shall read the replacements tomorrow

Just checked out the replacement mirrors off the car and with engine running. Ambient temp is 5 deg C

Both mirrors off the car readings are

Left hand is 12 Ohms and the feed is 14V

Right hand is 7 Ohms the feed is 4v

Both put back and are warming up. but the LH one is hotter as expected. I can live with that.
