I replaced mine with a manual one from Emmotts. I figured that if I replaced it with another automatic one that would eventually go the same way.

Yes the fluid has started leaking it's goosed. I have spare one but it's the later version. If yours is the later one it would fit, early and later cannot be interchanged.

Sounds expensive

thanks wammers how do you tell the difference between old and new??

If you don't mind doing a bit of "adapting", the MG/Rover 75 Auto Dim mirror is identical and cheaper. Loads on ebay!

They are believe me they are. Would you believe £236.16 from Land rover.

so how do I know which one I have????

how much adapting johnseedee?? they are a lot cheaper!!

johnseedee · Nov 17, 2014

If you have the later type (CTB100220L), there may be no adapting atall. The MG/ROVER part is CTB100220 - without the "L". Looking at your photo., I think that you have the later one. I have an MG/ROVER part here, as a spare, if you need some details.

Not on a P reg Range rover he doesn't. The later type is 2000 and on it has a different windscreen mount than the early one and cannot be swapped over. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID009722

OK, my mistake. I didn't do the background check. The later mirror can be fitted to the earlier mount by cutting and swapping the support bracket at the ball joint. It's a bit fiddly, but I have done it.

Mine had the earlier version with On/Off switch only. Replaced it easily with the Anti-Glare version. Was a straight swap, and now I can adjust how dark it gets. . . . even though I usually leave it in the middle setting.
