Tracking Defender issues
#11
Yeah it’s all really confusing - no check engine lights have ever come on for anything, not even briefly. I’ll reply back to let you all know what happens if you’re interested. Last thing I want is to have to go through a lemon law process considering I really do like the truck and waited about 9 months for it to get delivered.

Please do. You're the 3rd blown turbo I've seen.

I've had my Defender 110 about a week. So far I've had the following issues temporarily:
- Rear hatch won't open once in a while. I've seen reports here on it.
- A couple of times it wouldn't start when hitting the Start / Stop button
- Audio system went really quiet like the amp wasn't working? This was new tonight.

New 2022 110. Has around 300 miles, and I can't figure out the single lock / double lock thing, and even using the key, press twice to 'double lock' - the mirrors do not fold in. Could this be a chip shortage / module thing? I took delivery w/out the Active Dashboard, so I'm wondering if the folding mirror thing is a dealer program issue? I have found no menu items to address mirrors, other than rear tilt (when in reverse). Pressing the fold in buttons works, they do actually fold in, just not when I lock it.

Settings > All > Vehicle > Folding Mirrors (not sure about the last item)
edit: the owners manual just says “mirrors will fold if enabled” but doesn’t say how to enable. And I could not find the menu item. I wonder if this is a model thing (SE vs HSE vs XD etc).

I checked, and nothing about folding mirrors. I think I may have a larger issue. I can't seem to 'double lock' - I press the key lock button twice and get the anemic two horn beep, but the passenger door remains unlocked - but the alarm goes off when you open it. The driver's side doors are locked and you can't open them. The rear door is unlocked, you can open it, and no alarm.
Not sure if I need to have a door strike plate or latch adjusted? Not sure if anyone has any tips for double locking the new Defender?
