United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 2.0T SE Manual Lago Grey
folding mirrors motor

I have just bought a 2014 F/L.
The mirrors fold every time the vehicle is locked.. Cannot find anything in the manual to stop this.
The O/S mirror motor is very noisy. Can a fuse be pulled, or is it a trip to the dealers for them to disable this function.
On my old car, you just held down the lock button on the fob to fold the mirrors.
Any Ideas Please. ...Stan

From memory ...... you press the buttons to fold them in. Then pull them out into the normal position. Once you lock the doors they should remain out. I need to disable mine before the frosty mornings appear. Then in summer I'll press the mirror buttons again and they will fold when doors are locked again. MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

with the mirrors folded in, fold the mirrors out by hand (requires a little effort)
they should then not fold or open with key press, only by pressing the L & R buttons together on the mirror control.

think its all the manual if you want to double check Thumbs Up

Might just need some spray grease spraying down there ?? Push mirrors towards front of car ( when they are open) . There will be some creaking and groaning, but it reveals where you can spray some grease.
It was frightening the first time I did it, since I didn't know how much to force it, but I need to do it again now , a few years later.

With my landy mirrors. If I fold mirrors in by using the buttons then lock the car normally they won't open when you unlock. GS Sd4 2012

Not had any luck with folding them manually and then trying with the unlocking / locking suggestions..
They still fold in when I lock it. mmmmm !

Some good news though... gave them a good spray with silicone lube..Speeded them up no end.. nice and quiet too.

The bad news is that a Pond Life sprayed raw TFR on my grill at the car wash and took all the anodising off..
Looks as though I will be sending my 3 sons round as all of a sudden they don't speak English and "The Boss" was out..

Update I’ve disabled mine today. Start the car and then fold the mirrors in via the two switches on the door card. Then simply fold them out to the normal position. Switch car off and lock her up. The mirrors will now stay open Thumbs Up MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

I use the fact that the mirrors are CLOSED to indicate the car is locked, peeping out of my home window. Very Happy Very Happy
...... or when I am walking away from my vehicle.

Handy to disable it for winter as the water sitting on the mirror housing when folded is a receipe for disaster unless you scape all the ice off it prior to unlocking Rolling Eyes oh and don’t leave the scraper in the car Rolling with laughter MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
