Same with my D1, though my preupdate one didn't. Caused a few "baahh that truck is bloody miles away... *pulls out*... "holy full throttle batman" moments:D.

A Very rough photo comparison. Sorry too dark for the view out of the mirrors.....

Size Comparison.... Would have used a ruler - but well couldn't find one.

and the MY03 TD5

That's really odd.

My 01 td5 mirrors I would say are indentical to the Puma ones pictured, and very different to the 03 td5 ones pictured.

edited to add, in fact I have never seen mirrors like those 03 td5 ones before on a Defender.

That is the mirror on both my Tdi (98MY) and my Puma (08MY).

and this looks like the mirror on our 200TDI:)

Two part numbers:

Convex Mirror - MTC5084
Flat Mirror - STC3213

Doesn't explain why some have and some haven't. Might see about a convex one for the LHS though.

that looks like the same mirror on our 07 puma as well

its probably as simple as britax ran out of stock of the old style so they gave LR the skinny type ones till they re stocked.
if that part number is correct for convex im gettin 2 for the 90:cool:
