Hi,

Some body side swiped the drivers door mirror this morning in the 15
minutes I was in the Library. Came back to find housing bent back and the
unbroken mirror dangling from the heater wires. The only thing that is
broken is the plastic part that the mirror clips onto that fixes it to
the moving motorised section.

This looks to be just a ring shaped bit of plastic that adapts the motor
driven bit to the mirror mounting lugs. I bet this 10p plastic moulding
isn't available as a spare... Cost will probably rule out a new mirror
assembly, so does anyone know of a breakers in the
Penrith/Carlisle/Hexham/Newcastle area?

2001 Disco II with motorised, heated, folding mirrors.

Beamends lists "Mirror Assembly - Electric RH - Discovery II" and "Mirror
Assembly - Electric RH Power Folding - Discovery II from XA237917" but
sans price.

buggerit - dontcha just haye that.

Didn't park up on the pavement I hope - a rather eccentric relative whacks
mirrors on offending vehicles with his brolly.

He's not the only one - didn't someone on this very group confess to doing
the same?

He heh - there's more than one? not surprising really. Maybe they belong
to the same underground society of eccentric elderly crusaders - perhaps
they have a usenet group :)

My old man's been fairly successful at fulfilling his desire to become
an eco-terrorist after he retired. He's doing the tree hugging thing
quite well, but there's some balance to his crusade - he drives a 1961
SWB that he's owned from new, and reckons Landrover emissions are a part
of their character.

More power to him :) There's nothing wrong with standing up for stuff you
believe in and our senior relatives carry more credibility than our
no-good-for-nuffin' teen evangelists.

<rant>

Emissions pressure is politics plain & simple. Ain't a thing any
government or human can do about climate change - it's coming regardless.
People didn't cause it and we can't stop it - although it could be argued
we are affecting the rate of change.

It's simple (PR fuelled) social engineering to deflect the stealth-tax
argument.

No, luckily it is, cost and replacing are therefore actually trivial.

I have already changed two such adapters on my passenger side mirror (Disco
1 300 Tdi).
Have the part # somewhere in the workshop manual, yet don't have the manual
handy,

Picks me self up of the floor! Next time I'm near the dealers I'll drop
in. I did look for a part number but it must be round the back somewhere.

Mine's a Disco II not a I and has the full monty mirrors. So I'd be
surprised if the same part fitted both (do I need to put some cushions on
the floor?)

Gosh no £ price is US$ price with a currency symbol change. B-)

Thanks both, I suspect postage would be more than the part though Richard
and dealer markup isn't normally that great. I'll make a phone call to
the dealers later to check their price.

Oh remembers that I could also do with at least two of the small silver
and coloured LR logo wheel centers. A couple have fallen off recently,
must be tolerance problems with the center hole on the 16" wheels, I'm
sure they were a tight fit in the 18" ones. I'm not normally one to worry
much about "trim" but the wheels do look bad with the deep hole in the
middle, I'm even about to wash the damn thing (mind you the muck/mud/salt
is so thick on the spare wheel cover you can't see, let alone read, the
writing on it).
