Smashed up drivers side mirror today..... New replacement part or 2nd hand one ? Thoughts ?

Also how easy are they to fit yourself ? Anyone done one?

Cheers

Think you better sit down when you ask the price of a new one, I'd hit ebay.... Pete

I've bought 2 from ebay and both of them suffered from the dreaded wobble which I've been unable to resolve.......so I would bite the bullet and buy a new one. Not difficult to fit at all - you just need to remove the door card first then it just unbolts. 2017 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography

Cheers, am I right in thinking that there is a powerful video about removing the door card?

cheers guys...... looks like the units are £260 and the glass is another £80 supplied by our good friend Dan

am not sure what to do... i will probably tape t up for now and stick a bit of mirror on as am off to the alps on saturday

There are different versions of mirrors, but most of the components of the FFRR mirror are the same as for the Freelander 2.
I found it considerably cheaper to buy a new Freelander 2 mirror off ebay (£80) and rebuild it all on to the old mounting plate

hey lanby

i bought two new ones, but one thing that it seems to be doing is heating the mirror up on the first one i have put on?

so fitted the two mirrors..... two problems...

passengers side one - the mirrors moves but the heating element seems to turn itself on?

drivers side - mirror won't move.....

mirrors that were on before were fine even when they were smashed up...... i can only see this being faulty mirrors......not happy

Andy

Take the door card back off and double check all the connectors are pushed fully home. I had a similar problem when I removed the door card in that some of the functions didn't work properly. The problem was that one of the connector blocks wasn't properly connected.
