couple of questions...

some more experienced guys might be able to help me with the following minor items?

Passenger courtesy mirror lights dont work (drivers side are OK). Faulty switch? or fuse? I wouldn't have thought they have their own fuse though.

I'm not convinced that my heated mirrors work. Would they get hot to the touch if working? Fuse? I believe there's some complicated algorithm involving wipers and outside temperatures, etc, but whatever I do I can't seem to get them clear if they've go condensation or rain drops on them.

This might sound dumb so please excuse me if it does but i had a similar problem with the passenger side courtesy mirror lights and it actually tuned out to be as simple as lifting the mirror cover slightly past where it naturally wants to stop and they worked.
Whatever you do, please be careful pulling any fuses as i thought i pulled the one for the interior courtesy lights and it was the wrong one, I pushed it back before realising it was too late and it arced and then engine started on it's own!
Ended up costing me a new BCM module so please don't make the same mistake as me!! Big Cry 2016 RRS SVR Estoril Blue

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?

I don't think there is a way of turning heated door mirrors on with any cars in the Range Rover series, they just come on automatically below a certain temperature to defrost them.

Could it just be something as simple as blown bulbs with the courtesy mirror light ?.

Cheers

The door mirrors come one when you activate the rear window demister (they function this way to evaporate rain drops as well as defrost)

Only the glass should be warm to the touch.

I find that if you retract the mirrors at night (vital in a narrow London street) that they don't frost up, so that is an upside Smile
