New Member - MOT imminent

WRT · Jan 15, 2017

Hello.
Recently acquired a Series 3 Land Rover. MOT tomorrow and while doing some basic checks I noticed that the hinge of the passenger side wing mirrors has snapped. Can't find the part number or any information about how to remove and refit it in my books? Any advice available? I'm very new to all this maintenance stuff. Please forgive my ignorance.

Does it look like the one fitted to this defender?

Welcome to the forum by the way

Sounds like you have the later Fender hinge mounted mirrors. Common upgrade.

I like the original wing mounted mirrors but they are next to useless

Oh....and welcome

Thanks. Yes it does look like that.

As beasty said try looking for defender hinges, most parts places or eBay should sort you out

Thanks! Will do.

May the gods of Land Rover maintenance and Sean look down favourably on our Landy as she goes in for her MOT today. I only noticed 2 failures on her before I handed her over.... so every chance she might pass!

That's not to bad, biggest job I would have thought is the bushes in the spring. I can see what you'll be doing this weekend

That's a good result. Mine failed on 19 points last week plus 5 advisories!

Look at some of the posts on here that fail is not so drastic, bit of rolling around on a cold driveway coming up.
