Scotland 2010 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Stornoway Grey

Congo blue, yes I have changed key fob. On 1st of each month I swop my key fobs to keep them both charged up.
Will check tomorrow with other fob and adjust angle if needed.
Thank you all Jim A

United Kingdom 2012 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Firenze Red

My 2012 hse had both mirrors that dipped in reverse and I personally found the feature useful when manoeuvring close to kerbs etc. Yes the position is stored in the ecu but the memory mirror is different from the standard mirror and it will remember the setting for whatever memory seat position in use at the time. When I changed to a DS HSE LUX I was disappointed to find that only the passengers side mirror dipped in reverse. Big Cry

Mine is a 2011 HSE. Maybe it was a option?

I didn't think the driver's side had a reverse position to memorise? The memory is done in the seat module anyway, not the mirror.
I know the passenger side does on some models, thankfully not on mine, as I can't see any benefits in the mirror dropping to the rear wheels, but then I've been driving nearly 40 years.


I think the dipping passenger mirror is a helpful point if reversing near a high kerb (especially in some countries) or small bollards etc. One careless overturn of the steering wheel can result in an expensive body shop bill

So you are 50cm away from the kerb instead of 49cm!

I use the driver's side mirror when reverse parking & when I see the gutter I turn the steering wheel the other way. Can almost do it blindfolded! No passenger side mirrors when I was a lad.

Actually only today watched a young driver (probably first year) trying to reverse park in 3 different large spaces. I politely explained how to reverse park, they had never heard of it. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I lived in Gran Canaria for a time. See the kerb mirror is an excellent feature there with the height of some of them.

with curbs that high a Full Fat Disco with air suspension looks like a necessity.
Someone in the local council obviously decided that the street would turn into a stream at some point and needed banks rather than curbs. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
