I need to replace my mirror for subject vehicle. E-bay searches are nil. Does anyone know if the same mirror is used on any other vehicle, or where I might have more luck? Its the model which has a slider mechanism below mirror body which sets antiglare properties if required, so is electrically connected. Bob
Internal Rear View Mirror Range Rover P38a 1995 HSE

Just fit a normal one, it's only to dip the thing & they leak & don't work for ever. There's one on ebay for £15.,
If there is one thing I really miss from my old DII it's the electronic interior rear view mirror. It just worked, fully automagically. No glare from stuff behind, no forgetting that you've manually dipped the mirror and thus can no longer see whats behind (a long way back) in a corner of your eye. I also miss the compass.
What about Buckley Bros in Darwen
I was there a couple of weeks back when some one wanted an original Wing mirror for an early '50's Land Rover
They pulled one off the shelf as if by magic
I recognised it as being the same as the one on the LR I took my test on in may

Was it the tiny round one mounted on the front of the front wing that you could see bugger all out of. They were optional extras anyway and different dealers sold different mirrors, I'm not sure now if LR had any official recommendations.
Ooo, I'm in Blackburn next Saturday. brings up

but the "latest news" is March 2005!
They have a Darwen address so I guess it's the same company but if they don't want to keep the website up to date they really ought to take it down or remove the ancient content.
Check they're open Dave
Simple to find
Come off the roadabout that heads to Blackburn Rovers but head in the opposite direction towards Darwen
At the Liddl store on blackburn road turn right
You'll find them a 100 yards or so up that hill on the right
I think its first right and immediately right
You cant miss the yard its full of Land Rover being brocken for spares
Their stores are an Alladins Cave
A helpfull bunch
Got me shed back on the road very quickly and cost a lot less than I exspected
I missed the fun this weekend , Dragon put her foot down with a firm hand :-((
Next weekend we should be some where a bit north of you ( terms and conditions apply )

A666
That's the one
John said the guy who bought it had an original minter that did the shows
They've got a 1965 SWB in the stores
Looks original and tidy for its year , tax exempt as well I think
I wish , but Dragon would have summat to say

I'd like a 1960 SWB, there is something about driving around in a car the same age as oneself. B-)
Ditto.
I've got a '63 LWB 109" and a '54 SWB 86" both with original numbers.
I sold a 1947 Willys jeep on ebay a few years ago. It was rusty and horrid, but the guy sent a truck to collect it anyway, which is when we noticed there wasn't a wheel-nut on the LHS. These nuts are 'handed' threads. and the LHS was the 'wrong' way.
I went down to my local NAPA (USA) store and they had one on the shelf!
I was amazed!

Just been rebuilding one of those ('44) and you can get almost anything you want next day in England. Probably Hotchkiss parts though.
