Default Crickets under the hood? Right passenger mirror stopped tilting :(

Seems like the car is falling apart at 30K

Every time I step on the gas, I hear cricket like sound coming from the engine area. It is not too loud yet, but you can definitely hear it. I think maybe my belt is going bad.

Also found today that my passenger mirror does not tilt down when I put the car in reverse but I can adjust the mirror myself with no problem.

So, how was your day?

I have owned 3 Range Rovers.

A Lexus owner notes "the right mirror won't dip".

How quaint.

This might be kind of a dumb suggestion...did you check to see if the right or left mirror button is lit to allow tilt? Someone might have accidentally pressed it, or you may have to readjust the tilt.

Idk if I would consider these things "falling apart"....haha

Yeah, the button is lit and the left mirror is working.

In reverse, tilt it down manually, put in drive, should go back up, place in reverse, should auto tilt back down

That did the trick! Thank you!
My guess is, you had a problem like this before?

Yep! Hahah. it's actually a pretty useful feature because some past cars either go down too much or not enough. glad we can customize it.
