Thread: Disco 2 sideview mirrors too small

thanks

D1 and D2 same design .. same annoyances!

I had the same feeling coming from my previous vehicle. For me the height(or lack of in the Disco's mirrors) is the major problem.

I've learned to live with it now.

They have a few quirks, most forgivable, some loveable

I was hoping there might be similarities with the mounting part of the mirror with other car companies. Definitely hard to find any after market ones on google

I eventually gave up and fitted the small double convex mirrors as sold by some of the auto firms on top of the mirror frames. I did put a post and pic on here maybe 12 months ago, but now having difficulty finding it - will have to stop posting so often.

Haha, I imagine that will be me soon (lots of posts). I need to find someone with 3D printer skills I think

I went searching on your page. found the double DIN conversion thread. I'm keen on the photo's of that too if you get the chance. Should I pm you?

Found the mirror pics. PM me with an email address and I'll forward the DIN docs I have - they are too big for a PM itself

would be great if enough of us got together to put in an order to someone like DISCOVERY 3 to make one to suit the D2

When I was looking for a D2 the one thing I did notice in For Sale photo's was the LHR corner and rear bumper damage on a lot of cars so i suspected the mirrors where average, I am use too them now and reverse into park spots or pick a drive thru park to cut the risk of a dent down.
When i bought my D2 i had too replace the LH lens and for a month it was hopeless until i got rough with it and pushed it into a better position, it's all good now.
I have driven trucks all my life and you soon learn "if in doubt get out and have a look", I have back over a few things like a Courier van but they are "fair game" the way they park in the yard.
