An easy fix for the crusty oxidised mirror arms that seem to blight most Land Rover Defenders.
I decided to press on with this job even though I haven't yet ordered the new hinges. If you've got any hinge recommendations, let me know in the comments!

Definitely satin black would look great! Lovely looking Deffy!

It would look amazing in satin black! You videos increase my desire to restore my LR. Thank youuu

I think black hinges myself or maybe Keswick green again... sometimes people can pick out too many details and makes it look too busy. But black hinges with the black heavy duty hood sticks will look cool 😎

My 90 is Keswick green, I fitted the Gore security hinges in black, they do look great, bit of an upgrade from the originals 😀

The newer the parts the faster they are rotting. The mirrors on my series are still good but straight glass. I have ordered convex mirrors as a replacement and they started rusting right away!

You're not wrong there! The galvanising on my 1951 is soooo thick it's never going to corrode

Great video, i need to change mine also and thought you had to take the panel off, i will keep my mirrors though as they are painted same as vehicle. Thank you.

perhaps when you upgrade to aluminium ones matching them to the body colour will result in a stockier look, which is what I'd go for. 2nd best choice is probably matching the rims with a rather glossy black, which will create a contrast with the satin black of the mirrors, especially as it ages

Hi Conrad. A really useful guide to replacing the door mirrors, as I've just received my replacements for my td5. I'm also interested in replacing the black plastic surround on the front light cluster for what you have on the Puma - did you do this, or was it a factory fit? C

Hi mate, what year Land Rover is that?. The reason I ask is because I like the puma dashboard and was wondering if it can be upgraded into any Land Rover

Was the Defender designed to self corrode? For the sake of a few pound on fittings they'd last much longer.

Islandrovers I drive a London black cab and they’re made from the same rubbish. The only difference is we don’t get aluminium corrosion because there isn’t any. I like your videos, keep up the good work.

why didn’t the bracket itself be repaired?

Yes, its possible to remove the arm, strip it back, and repaint it, but the replacements are so inexpensive I don't actually think its worth it.
