Hi, about to start caravanning soon so in need of mirrors, I tried some Milenco ones but the securing straps aren’t long enough to go round the Freelander door mirror housings, what make or type would anyone recommend ? Thanks

If you use the search you'll find half a dozen previous posts on towing mirrors, worth a read.

I (and many others) use Milenco clamp-on mirrors. You can get V-block clamp pads that are supposed to better suit the FL2 mirrors. i bought some but don't use them as I find the standard pads work best.

I use milenco grand aero mirrors. I have never got round to changing the standard pads for the recommended Freelander type but they work perfectly well as they are and have stayed in place for a 2000+ mile journey down to the med coast in France and back. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Another recommendation for the milneco grand aero mirrors. fit a treat, quite stable and field of rear vision and don't interfere with main mirror adjustment and can stay attached when the mirrors fold. I can't be a 100% sure but I think I did buy the slimmer mounting pads for them, it was a long time ago now. 2007 TD4 XS The work horse that earns its up keep

Sorry, can't recommend any particular manufacturer. But in 2017 I collected from Maastricht in Holland a 7m twin axle caravan and towed it to Costa Brava in Spain, on a one way, one off journey. Bought extension mirrors from Halfords..they fitted but was not happy with the security. A couple of bungy straps of the right length more than secured the mirrors without vibration.. Don't sweat it...get bungies.

Milenco Aero here - tear drop shape. I too bought the V shape clamp pads but after trying them once, went back to the standard flat pads.

Never had one come loose yet and no unwanted marks on the mirror housings.

I've been using Suck'n'See mirrors for some years and never had a problem with them. Easy to fit and adjustable from the driving seat. Available in flat or convex.

Suck'n'See ??

Doesn't sound very Covid friendly, although they are outside

Another vote for milneco grand aero mirrors used them for year on all my different cars, the last being Freelander 2 and they have never moved always use the original flat pads

Thanks all 👍

another vote for milenco clamp on. This week I obtained and fitted the v pads. They do seem more stable. Previously I had the mirrors clamped to the bottom edge. But I have now used a pipe bender to put a bend in so they now fit properly along the curved top edge.

These are what I use - more than happy and like the fact they remind me of old series or Defender mirrors.

going to be controversial here - i have a set secure well on the Mirror - cant mind what make, they have rubber straps that go round the housing, never use them they are a distraction. shakey image takes my eyes off the road too long, I would rather concentrate on reading the road than trying to figure out what is, or is not in that extra foot i can see behind me.

Towing without mirrors is ok. But here in the UK we have to fit them by law when towing a normal size caravan.
