Thanks very much!
It sounds like the sort of job for which I'll have to enlist some help! |

I've got a factory-fitted towbar with a 7-pin socket. I seem to remember the socket is wired with a short flying lead to a connector on the chassis.
I'm thinking of buying a caravan with a 13-pi ... |

Thanks very much - that's helpful.
I haven't got around to it yet, but hopefully I'll be able to order the mirrors later today. |

| The complete mirror - head and arm. The arms are white, and the mirrors have lost part of their mirror coating! |

Am I likely to need additional parts (eg bolts, seals, washers etc.) when replacing door mirrors on a 2004 90?
Any tips on the process would be appreciated. I've seen suggestions about jacking-up ... |

Yes, that's extremely helpful, thanks!
I've just seen a picture of a Dormobile 90, and the roof cap actually looks not too bad.
I'll have to ponder it some more. I had been thinking about an Al ... |

These conversions look great!
I'll have to re-read the threads in more detail, but do you have blinds/curtains for the windscreen and front windows, or do you just put something across the bulkhead ... |

That's funny!
I assumed OEM would be high quality! It's hard to believe mine are over 16 years old now, but they have looked ropey for a good few years. I kept expecting my Landy to fail its MOT ... |

Thaks very much.
I think I'll just go for the standard mirrors, and add the rotating brackets if/when I need them.
I suppose the problem now is finding replacements which are of OEM quality. I ... |

I need to replace the wing mirrors on my 2004 TD5. The glass has deteriorated, and the arms are corroded (with 'white fungus').
Can anyone recommend a good replacement? I see mention of long and ... |

| After getting down on my knees, I've realised that the tyres which are currently fitted are actually General Grabber TR (not AT)! It looks like the TR is more road-biased (GG say 70% road, 30% gravel ... |

| Thanks very much. It's tempting to just fit another set of General Grabbers, but the Lattitudes look like they might be a sensible choice. I'll look up some reviews, and also the Yokohamas etc. |

| My Defender has standard alloys with 235 16 85 tyres. What narrower tyres, if any, can be used with the standard alloys, and keep the same rolling diameter? |
