2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Landmark LE Auto Santorini BlackDiscovery 4

Thanks all - much appreciated!
Collecting it tomorrow Very Happy
It comes with 'universal' extended mirrors but remains to be seen whether or not they work with powerfold mirrors. Will swap for your suggestions if necessary. Owner confesseses that battery not taking/holding a charge so will replace. First use will be an overnighter without elec hook-up so will need batt for lighting, although fridge will run off the gas. Doesn't have motor mover.
Tyres are 3yo and look good. Already planning to check wheel nuts and don't plan to drink the water that passes from aquaroll via pump to 'van taps. Will get a double plug converter as suggested. Thumbs Up,

That red zone is exactly why I bought a set of mirrors after trying towing without. I found the drivers side fine but struggled with pulling in after overtaking.


Unless your hitch is not in the centre its the same both sides Wink

20cms or 25cms depending on the year.

It might be but you do not sit in the center of the car and as such there is a difference down each side

It really does not matter where one sits as one looks into mirrors which are set the same distance out from the side of the vehicle. It is as if one was to sit that few inches out amd look backwards - it would be from the same distance out each side.

There will be a difference in the size of the field of view though. This is so small that it is not noticed by the brain.
 A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.
