Disco 3 Door Mirror Assembly

Ayup me ducks

Discovered damaged Disco 3 door mirror this morning. Suspect vandalism rather than accident as there is no impact damage. Glass still intact but the top half of the assembly was hanging loose.
Still working electrically
Not able to have a good look before next week but on first inspection it appears that the top section is fixed to the base on a splined spigot and I’m just wondering if this could be forced back on. I’ve tried pushing it on and it goes so far (Not employed the lump hammer yet)
Just wondering if anyone is familiar with the construction of the assembly before spending £140 on a new one.

Thanks

Mirrors kin dear, elec under a 100 quid, powerfold with memory 300 genuine 150 quid copy, Iirc powerfold has two plugs.
Might not be vandalism as the alloy corrodes quite heavily at the pivot point so may have rotted off?

Thanks for that pal
As I said I'll have a closer look later but another reason for suspecting vandalism is I also have a van parked nearby and that mirror had been folded forwards (the
wrong way)
Regarding a replacement the cheapest I've seen is £145 for a standard none powerfold. Mine isn't fitted with powerfold.
Thanks

Also with mine if I have folded them manually they took some resetting to get them to refold all sorts of horrible noises.
Worst part is you have to take the door card off to fit the mirror head assy, youtube for decent videos of how to get it off.

117 quid ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rang...MK+III&hash=item43e3225b4b:g:xzgAAOSwWnFWBS2y

Thanks for all that. Mine is off-side and they nearly all seem to be for near-side on ebay.

There are various ones for the Range Rover Sport but I need to check for compatibility.

Some look the same but there are probably some subtle differences.

Will let you know.

Quick update
Bought a second-hand mirror online for £100. Replaced the original one then set about trying to repair it.
Didn’t want to attempt that before having the replacement in case I completely smashed it.
After removing the shroud to expose the aluminium casting I gently tapped it back on to the spline. Eventually it went right on until it was seating correctly.
I then realised that the new one was faulty as the top section was slightly loose and would probably wobble about when driving.
As the original had a chrome cover I decided to put that one back on and all is now well

Door card off and on twice, mirror removed and replaced twice. Total time 70 minutes incuding the repair job. It certainly helps when the sun is shining!!
