    Convex pax mirror

    At last, somewhere to get a convex passenger mirror. The existing flat one annoys me, can't see enough of the traffic behind.

    rmp, I use a small adhesive mirror from Auto 1 and stick it to the bottom of the Landy mirror. I have the best of both worlds then.

    Alright I'm converted again. Looks the goods, and cheap enough so she who controls the bankbook may not notice the new pressie for the Landy.

    A small note of caution, gentlemen. Apparently the Australian spec Defenders have larger mirrors than the UK ones. This would be down to one of those weird and wonderful ADRs I expect. The mirror is designed for UK spec Defenders.

    This I got from Rovaworks today. They are helpfully sending one mirror to Ritter in Melbourne for me to look at, and see if I like it. I expect I will like it and will replace both mirrors. The existing mirror is flat and hopeless for rear view and I'm sure you're all painfully aware, and as someone who uses his mirrors a lot that is a real pain.

    Details to follow.

    A Defender Ute without a canopy affords the best "shoulder check" rear view in the business.

    Perhaps you should trade the wagon....... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I'd buy a 130 crewcab if they chopped 20 inches off the wheelbase and sold it in a wagon format.

    Isn't the 110 actually a 109?

    Anyway, I'd like 20 inches off the wheelbase. 110 is just a little bit too long.

    There were a few 130 wagons kicking around somewhere once as I recall.
