Anyone got a spare?

Ok, so £15 in total for a new one...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rove...fender&hash=item565d91751a:g:etcAAOxyrrpTiRMr

I changed mine for MUD ones so have a couple of mirrors but is it worth packaging them up and sending them for the cost?

Thanks chaps.

I'm always amazed how cheap and how expensive parts are.

Seriously, if you want my opinion I would get another arm at £7.49 and then purchase a pair of MUD extra large XL mirrors at £13.50 each http://www.mudstuff.co.uk/defender-xl-mirror-head.html

I did and I've been well happy with them. I also paid the extra £9.50 for the heater elements!

If you do fit the heater elements they're combined power use is less than a bulb so no relay is needed if you get a 15amp switch and basically you can just take a fused ignition live wire through the switch to the heater elements so long as you remember not to leave them on for more than 15-20 minutes at the most or you risk burning them out. I have had them fitted ages with no issues as I used a switch with a light.
