We need new towing mirrors for our Freelander 2. We've been using Suck it and See mirrors but OH really doesn't like them. Can anyone recommend anything?

Thanks

Hi Quicksilver, I use a set bought from Argos on my Xsara Piccasso, very stable and still allows use of the original mirrors if needs be, they are also larger than most of the others I have see which gives an excellent view behind you down both sides. Picked up the new Argos Cat this week and they are in there again although not showing on Argos website.

Hi Quicksilver,

i would recommend Aero Towing Mirror £39.75 from Towsure. I know there expensive but that's what we reccomend at the Land Rover dealership i work for, and personally i know how chunky the mirrors are on the F/L 2 you need something that will go round the mirror.

hope this helps

Thank you for your help everyone. Would rather pay more for the right thing than less for something hopeless!

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
