I replaced mine with a manual one from Emmotts. I figured that if I replaced it with another automatic one that would eventually go the same way.

Yes the fluid has started leaking it's goosed. I have spare one but it's the later version. If yours is the later one it would fit, early and later cannot be interchanged.

If you don't mind doing a bit of "adapting", the MG/Rover 75 Auto Dim mirror is identical and cheaper. Loads on ebay!

If you have the later type (CTB100220L), there may be no adapting atall. The MG/ROVER part is CTB100220 - without the "L". Looking at your photo., I think that you have the later one. I have an MG/ROVER part here, as a spare, if you need some details.

Not on a P reg Range rover he doesn't. The later type is 2000 and on it has a different windscreen mount than the early one and cannot be swapped over. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID009722

OK, my mistake. I didn't do the background check. The later mirror can be fitted to the earlier mount by cutting and swapping the support bracket at the ball joint. It's a bit fiddly, but I have done it.

Mine had the earlier version with On/Off switch only. Replaced it easily with the Anti-Glare version. Was a straight swap, and now I can adjust how dark it gets. . . . even though I usually leave it in the middle setting.
