If you can identify the plug type used, then yes you normally can get the individual components separately.
Edit:
They look like Tyco Mate N Lok, or a 2.8mm blade version it. w
Which means you should be able to get the parts separately, in huge bags if needed. I'll look through my normal suppliers catalogue for something and link it for you.

Strangely, eBay is your friend for some of these connectors. https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/2733333423...5%26rvr_ts%3Db83776731640ad7854f2186efffeabe4

Do these mirror,s fit strait on the freelander 1 ?? I may invest in one we have a good Landrover/rover breakers in bradfordTonight, I’ve been messing around with an MGF rear view mirror
It came without a plug (someone had cut it off - d’oh!) But it was cheap as a result
I have extended the leads...

And added a three-pin plug:

But bad news, the Chinese chappie who packed my plug put in 4 female terminals and two male: aaarrggh!

They're identical, except the MGF mirror has lights on the underside, in place of the little recesses of the factory mirror.

T12 I think, but it's been a while since I've taken the track rods off a Freelander.

I think I used a 13 or 14mm spanner last time.
I know, I know, it ain't right and it aint clever but if it works don't knock it.
Will start writing here folks
Changed rear diff mounts but no effect on clunking.
Changed cluthch hydraulics. Slave seemed almost dead and maybe killed her on way out. Lack of use over last few years had slave piston corroded.
Bearmacch replacement seemed to fallapart but they do seem know nd enough to send a replacement. So will see if my car runs soon...

I'm still getting a knocking noise when I turn the wheel so instead of changing track rod ends I may aswell change the complete arms

Replacing track rod ends is a simple easy job, replacing the rods is a nightmare job.
I know which I'd be doing first.

I'm going to be taking my track rods off soon myself. I've got a creak from the from the front, which I can't find.

My noise seems to be coming from the centre if I'm sat in the car with engine off so thought a complete set of arms and track rods would be easier to do

It might be worth trying to tighten up the bolts first. They are fitted with lots of thread lock so if you do need to replace them the bolts will fight you to the end.
I used a standard spanner to remove mine and had no issues apart from the constant stream of swearing as I fought them. My torx sockets are 1/2" and were too big to fit.
