Mirrors needed to fit on a Land Rover Discovery 4

Boff - just a PS and apologies for being slightly off-topic  - don't break the lens! Someone hit my mirror in Devon two years ago.  Cost of replacement - for just the lens - £250!!!!!!!

Thanks for the advice,  I have disabled the auto fold option on the mirror. Because if I didn’t I would forget and that would end in tears.  I have bought cars for less than £250    I also need to experiment with the longer arms for mirrors, I bought these to use with the Landcrusier and a 2.4m wide van. The Touareg is wider than the LC and I have gone back to the standard arms so will experiment.  We only got the towbar fitted a couple of days before we headed off to France, so it was all a bit of a rush. 

@ OP: Sorry for comprehensively hi jacking your thread!  I find the grand Aeros very good compared to some of the other mirrors we have tried  

+1

Convex mirrors though, for me a way better field of view than the flat.

I also bought the v shaped pads, which seem to grip a little better.

I have a 2014 Discovery 4 and use Milenco Grand Aero. I did find that the clamps didn’t hold onto the mirrors very well and contacted Milenco, they eventually supplied another set of clamps which were in my opinion still not as secure as I would have expected. 

I rectified this by adopting a suggestion on other forums, this was by the cheap method of putting a piece of old bicycle inner tube around the lower part of the clamp.

As an aside I always use flat mirrors. 

sorry what do you mean lower part of the clamp? depending on if you put them on top or below your car mirrors? Do you mean on the part of the clamp that goes into the mirror housing or clamps to the outside?

I meant the thinner part of the clamp, the part that goes inside of the mirror housing.

The Milenco mirror clamps can be fitted to the bottom of the mirror housing on the Discovery 4 but they foul the body of the car when they auto fold and annoyingly the auto fold option cannot be disabled other than by a Retailer/Authorised Repairer when the vehicle is locked, and unfold when it is unlocked.

thanks for the reply 

Hi to everyone who wrote back to me, ive just tried milenco grand aero ones with the special pads to fit landrovers, they stayed on but they didnt fit that well, the new pads should fit in the groves on the wing mirrors but they are hit & miss i will get there eventually.

I have another question, on my discovery 4 ive got the detachable towbar & ive just fitted a alko stabiliser to my caravan, but when i hook up to my jeep the red handle on the stabiliser which when pushed down allows the pads to hug the towball, but i cant get the handle all the way down. So my question is - is the towball to big?? what dimension should the towball be to fit the stabiliser??

We had a great time away @ the weekend our first trip & we have got the BUG, already started booking places for 2019.

My daughter calls this our MID LIFE CRISIS !!! 😂

All tow balls are 50mm dia unless it's come off the ark when it'd be 2 inches (50.8mm)

when the stabiliser and/or pads are new it does take quite a bit, even a lot, of effort to push down the red handle, we didn't realise how much until we got new pads last service. You probably need to really push with you weight over it, or get someone else to help push it down, and also when you need to pull it up.
