Had to replace one a while back for a Disco II. It was not very much about £12 I think; from an independent L R specialist.

So that would be about £120 from a main dealer then. :?

From a main stealer it was about £25 for a Freelander's mirror. I doubt the Disco's will be much more. I'd try your friendly local motor factors first, even if they buy from the dealer, they still get reduced rates, and may translate in some savings for youses.

A van driver smashed mine the other week, luckily the heating bit was still there with the wires on, got an aftermarket replacement one from local car shop for £8, nearly bust it though trying to prize the plastic surround back over it, still not in proper now but the double sided tape has hold, looks good bar the chip I did with the screwdriver DOH :shock:  :twisted:
