power mirrors in a 2002 td5

[simonr23]

do all disco2's have elec mirrors? mine has a 3rd party spotlight switch where the manual says the mirror controls should be.

Mine has electric mirrors, i would of thought it would be standard?

[simonr23]

are your controls in the spot to the right of the steering wheel. the place the manual shows.

[WildOne]

Yep, thats the spot

[simonr23]

well mine doesnt have them then! that sucks a bit. i wasnt game to adjust them by hand incase i was too dense to see the controls, and could have damaged the motors.

Hi Simonr23,
In 2002 LRA decided to bring to our shores the Base Moel Disco2.
That year it was called the "S", It came with steel wheels, no drinks holder under the centre dash console, no cargo blind, no headlight washers, front grille wasnt color coded, no 5th door pocket, no cruise control, no "Factory" towbar Hitch & yes no electric mirrors.

If u need a cargo blind or cruise control PM me, i have a few.

thats really wierd. i have all those options (and i just discovered tonight a cd stacker ) just no elec mirrors. i'm wondering if maybe the last guy decided to trade the mirror control for the spotlights? otherwise the car is awesome to drive. i just need the cdl kit. has a 2" aftermarket suspension kit. not sure of the brands though. springs are yellow and shocks are white. also arb bullbar, arb(or factory standard?) towbar, safari snorkel and opposite lock driving lights(well thats the brand of the lens covers, cant see any other writing. i'll post pics in the pic thread when i take some of my own.

I think you'll find that the 98/99 S model was the only model introduced here with steel wheels, but it should still have electric mirrors, the S is still sold here but it has alloys and not Steel wheels like mine, i think the steel wheel S model is still available in England though, although the English S model is very different to the model we got, i think it was like the Defender with vinyl floors, manual window winders and so on.

My Disco is the base model for Australia and i have electric windows and mirrors, but i don't have the stuff the SE comes with, ACE, SLS, DUAL AIR, leather, front fog lights and so on.

Simon, the knob for the mirrors should be about a half inch in diameter and have R and L either side of it.

I'd say the previous owner has removed them if there not on the car now.

more to the point is there any way of adjusting the mirrors from inside? if they were manual adjust then they would have a stick coming out of the internal face where the mirrors are mounted.. if that isnt there i cant see LR adding the old style ball mounted mirrors, so the guy has probably ripped the control out (maybe he broke it)

seems a strange place to put the switch given the several blank spots on the side of the speedo for switches...

Thanks

This is where the mirror adjuster should be


If you bought the vehicle that you posted about, the white one, then that's the same interior as mine and it should have electric mirrors.

Mine doesn't have flares like yours, which is another standard feature on the SE, but an option on the S.

Under the steering column is a drop down door, look in there it may be still connected but the previous owner has put it there when he put the spottie switch in.
