You can turn reverse mirrors dip off from the Settings menu if you don't like that feature, problem solved. User manuals available here: http://www.ownerinfo.landrover.com



Regarding the door mirrors dipping up, it's a software issue with the seats memory module. Land Rover claims that you can sometimes resolve it by reprogramming the position of the mirrors and saving it in the module. From what I recall, this procedure worked for some, but for others the problem returned after a few days and the seat ECU eventually needed to be replaced, under warranty if you are still covered. Try this first:

Title Mirrors Dipping Upwards When Reverse Gear Selected

Category Body

Symptom 103000 Mirrors

Content

Affects Discovery 3/ LR3 VIN LA427985 to LA461960%26amp; Range Rover Sport VIN LS999465 to LS144813.

Note: The seat ecu must not be replaced to resolve this issue.



Customer Issue: Reverse gear mirror settings are required to be stored (as detailed in the owners handbook) if customers are reporting issues with exterior mirrors 'dipping' upwards instead of downwards.



Cause: A software issue in the latest Memory ECU YWC500690 has been identified.



The following conditions may lead to mirrors 'dipping' upwards:

- The customer does NOT actively program the new mirror dip settings (as detailed in the owner's handbook %26amp; below)

- The vehicle is left parked in reverse gear and the key ID is changed (by unlocking the vehicle with another key) - next time reverse gear is selected mirrors 'dip' in an upward direction



Action: This issue may be resolved by actively learning mirror dip positions as follows:



Key 1 (Refer to illustration 1 in attachment)

- Turn Ignition ON (position II).

- Press memory switch '1' button (Figure 2).

- Select Reverse Gear (mirrors move to 'default' dip position).

- Move mirrors to required dipped position for Key 1 %26amp; Memory 1.

- Press memory switch 'MEM' button (Figure 1) followed by switch '1' button (Figure 2) within 5 seconds. 'DOOR MIRROR DIP STORED' will be displayed on the message center together with a single chime. This is confirmation that the dipped position is stored.

- Move mirrors to required dipped position for Key 1 %26amp; Memory 2.

- Press memory switch 'MEM' button (Figure 1) followed by switch '2' button (Figure 2) within 5 seconds. 'DOOR MIRROR DIP STORED' will be displayed on the message center together with a single chime. This is confirmation that the dipped position is stored.

- Move mirrors to required dipped position for Key 1 %26amp; Memory 3.

- Press memory switch 'MEM' button (Figure 1) followed by switch '3' button (Figure 2) within 5 seconds. 'DOOR MIRROR DIP STORED' will be displayed on the message center together with a single chime. This is confirmation that the dipped position is stored.



Key 2

- Repeat as above with Key 2



Additional Keys

- Repeat as above for additional keys

Important Notes (Refer to illustration 2 in attachment)



The customer must be informed of the following to prevent repeat complaint of this issue.

When 'Reverse Mirror Dip' is disabled via the Settings menu this clears all stored mirror dipped positions. When the function is next enabled new mirror dip settings will be required to be programmed as detailed above.How do i stop the mirrors on my land rover discovery 3 tilt downwards when i reverse?
Set the mirrors so you can see normally, then wedge the mirror with shims.
