I seem to recall there is a rubber cap on the arm pivot, and you can pop this off and lubricate.

Not that it is what you are asking, but you can get long Defender mirror arms.

Thanks Bilbo & Lotz-a-landies. I did know you can buy the long arms but the price is a bit off putting. just not sure at the moment how Land Rover have assembled these things, it looks a bit like they might have presed it all togther and then flared the centre shaft.

Long arm c/w mirror at a better price

Hi,
I have the long arm mirrors so I can see past the slide-on on the back of the ute.
I need to pull them apart to try and increase the spring pressure to stop them (both) blowing back with the draught from highway trucks.
cheers

Although I did not manage to seperate the center shaft I did find there is what I believe to be a 10mm hexigan socket in it which can be accessed by puting the Key up center from underneath after the ruber plug at the top is prised out.
