P38 Range Rover - Rear view mirror Install

The Donnelly mirror went blotchy. I got a 2000ish Mitsubishi Magna mirror which operates with the same 3 wire system, but is a far superior piece of equipment. I cut the connector from poorly designed Donnelly mirror and solder to the 3 wires of the Magna mirror. The mirror was about half the cost of the original, with a stronger rotating ball system.
The mount was exactly the same.

This helped alot. I got a similar mirror and was concerned about the two wire connector that the p38 has that goes to the 3 in the mirror. Glad i know now that its normal!

How did you remove the mirror off the windscreen in the first place. Is it just a matter of sliding it down, or do you need a tool to release it.

Just slides down i believe.

what did your replacement come out of? thanks

026053 Magna. also Acura. these 3 wire mirrors were fitted from 99 to 08 in both vehicles i believe. They fit the P38 range rover mount on the windscreen. They are the same chromatic system. Just cut the 3 wires off and solder to the connector from your broken donnelley mirror. Theyre usually around $70-80 US on ebay.
