I think the LDV 400 use the larger mirror, and a longer arm. Not sure, I'll try and look at the minibus which does the same school I do.

If so, you can fit either the complete mirror with the large head, or the arm and put your small head on it.

anyone have a contact for the lot who were doing heated mirror glasses for the defender mirrors, BTW? 's that time of year again...

Also as used on Wolf's, and are availble through the normal spares sources.

someone had a link to 'em. looked a good buy at about 20 quid -odd.

You should be able to get a heater element from any truck parts suppliers, they just stick onto the back of the glass.

hmmm. I tend to think the glass comes with the heater already attached, but it's worth a thought. ISTR the heated kit which was available last time I looked was about 20 quid though, so not excessive, for a pair.

On a similar theme, can some kind person tell me how to adjust wing mirrors on a D90 97?

I know they move around but it is only to the next "click". I want to adjust them to stay in between "clicks"!

The door pillar obscures half the left hand mirror and it is beginning to get to me.

You cant, unfortunately. The arm positions are fixed by the clicks.

Ye gods! If I'd known that I would have been a bit more careful in the choice of my parents to make sure I turned out a standard (Land Rover) size and shape!

the large head mirrors use the same arm.

I'm sure I've seen longer arms for those mirrors though, perhaps they're on luton-body variants?

I don't recall seeing any wires to the mirrors Richard, or a switch.

The Wolf with it's spare wheel on the near side (or both with 2 spares) has an extended arm.

The original post was for long mirror arms - no switch or wires required!
