The one's that I remember were grossly overpriced. Ashtree Glass (http://www.ashtreeglass.co.uk/catalogue/index.php) can provide elements, possibly even complete mirrors but I didn't look. The elements are 'trimmable' to a degree. I came across someone else yesterday but can't remember who. I'll look tomorrow if I can.

Easy Austin my pals at Unitruck http://www.unitruck.co.uk/products.asp they can sell you complete mirrors glasses or even just the elements to stick on your own mirrors Derek >> for the defender. >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >your own mirrors >Derek aha. sounds promising. elements is what I want, unless they do a heated convex glass for the LDV convoy.

They take a little while to clear, but i think its because they are old. If you get some, let me know how much they are as i am sure mine will need replacing in the future..

I've got 'em on the DII, can't say they are particulary effective, to the extent I took the covers off and checked the wiring for volts and heater for continuity both of which were OK. I think the suggestion of an oven glove or even just a plastic bag is cheaper and probably more effective as you won't have globs of water left from the thawed (if it ever does) frost...

Also wouldn't it ruin the vehicles aerodynamic efficiency?

If the windows are misted too then other landrover owners won't see you waving. The gloves will carry on waving and quite rightly wave franticly at greater speeds. This will also serve as a visual warning to other motorists that you are in a flap when changing lanes. Lee D > I don't think you're taking this seriously...

Yeah but when you wind your window down and rest your elbow on it in the pose that non-landy owners think is macho but in reality is you trying to get some elbow room, the gloves will slap you about all journey which could get really annoying.

Clear frost or stop misting? I find a good thick dollop of fairy liquid stops any misting if thats the issue. Otherwise a ice scraper sorts the rest. I've god cars with heated mirrors but never (knwoingly) used them.

I've god cars with heated >mirrors but never (knwoingly) used them. most of them come on along of the rear screen demister or similar. Discos certainly do. Both. The disco mirrors, for the most part, clear and then stay clear, with the heating on. The ones on the LDV don't, 'cos of no heating, and even if defrosted with a scraper have a habit of freezing up again in the wrong conditions.

For many years now we've used our own brand: a 4 pint milk container of hand-warm water over the windscreen and mirrors (and sometimes door windows too). Once you get going they stay clear (even the Landy's mirrors). I'll admit this only works in the morning from home, but it's loads better than scraping ice, etc. Regards, Simonm.
