Mine looks like your passenger side.
I lost one to a tree at the end of last year, a replacement is £8.... |

Cheers Miker - TBH I'm less bothered about the price, more the principle that (it looks to me) that the LR Dealer is taking the proverbial.
The reason for this being and insurance job is that (a) it was the other parties fault and (b) also required paintwork to put right. And as the truck has less than 20,000 miles on it, I want it "right". Anyone else? If you have part numbers for the original mirrors, even better! |

Your Passenger side mirror is correct, the other one looks nasty

Mine (MY2016) is identical to the passenger door . Ridiculous for the Dealer to fit a non matching mirror head. There do seem to be larger mirror heads available though.

All Defenders until the last of the line came from the factory with mirrors like the one in the picture of your passenger side. The one they now fitted on your driver side I have never seen before, surely it has nothing to do with Land Rover at all. Looks horrible.
Why don't you walk into any JLR dealership and ask the parts department for the mirror part number? They'll get it from microcat in a second. Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

Looking in the parts catalogue, there are two different RH mirrors available.
CRB503570 is the standard one (the same as your left hand one), it will actually fit either side. CRB503580 is an alternative one (the same as the new one you've had fitted), it seems to be listed as Australian spec, the LH AUS one is CRB503590. They are correct in that they're both Genuine Land Rover parts, but clearly they've not ordered the correct one. |

Or the wrong part in the right box. Not unheard of.

Austrian spec is right, though the part is doubly wrong as the spec is listed as 1983 through to 2006 so not only the wrong mirror head part but the wrong age for your 2012 Defender.
Even if the wrong part was in the right box who ever fitted it must be a right numpty not noticing the difference. Perhaps both the fitter and the dealership management should book a visit to Specsavers.

That Aus part number is also listed in the 2007 onwards catalogue, which would make it correct for a 2012 (Australian) car.
This is true, i had an L322 rear wiper motor last year it was the later type with the early type part number label on the box. You would hope the fitter queried the discrepancy mind you. |

Fitter's job is to fit the part from the box on the car as per orders. Not to question what it is. Particularly the case if the bodyshop is not LR specialised.

Well that is a worry in that case. I would hope if I took my very expensive Land Rover into a LR dealership that the guy working on my car was able to use his own brain and wasn't just doing things by numbers.
 Seriously, if whoever fitted that mirror couldn't see it was different to the other one and question that, then, they're in the wrong job.  I just hope they dont go onto working on aircraft. |

So if the car had a damaged alloy wheel, but a steel replacement turned up they'd just fit it....
I think anyone with half a brain would at least point out the discrepancy. If then even after doing so they're still ordered to fit it, fair enough, but you'd still like to think the fitter would have posed the question. |

Guys - my point exactly -
 state of affairs whichever way you look at it.
Disappointing, as this shop has had a really good rep for paint and bodywork 
And as for the LR dealer arguing its the right part....  |
