MG-Rover Club Nederland

Hello all I need to ask if anyone can help me here.
I am a buitenlander living here in Holland

I got some new rover 25 mirrors for my rover 214si from the UK and I needed to change them over from the RHD setting to the LHD setting I had some trouble but I found out that you can change from RHD to LHD

One of the mirrors changed over like a dream but unfortunately the other mirrors metal shaft snapped while trying to do it. so for future reference

There are three pins on the base metal plate holding the mirror in the RHD or LHD position these pins are 60 degrees from each other forming an equalateral triangle and the visible pin is perpendicular to the car.

On top of this is a moveable plastic plate which has three sets of two notches in it for both positions. the plate must be lifted so that all three pins are out of their respective notch and also the wieght of the mirror spring must be removed from above the plate then the plate can be moved so that the pins drop into the other notch.


There you go easy when you know how. The only thing is that my Rover now has a new mirror and an old mirror on it so I need a new mirror.


!!!Anyone out there got a right side rover 25 mirror going cheap let me know.!!!!

Hi Mac, I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out ok and I couldn't be of more help to you. Isn't there another way to fix the mirror? With a bit of glue for instance. After all, once the mirror's fixed in the right place (LHD) you won't have to move it again.

I am afraid not as the actual shaft metal which holds the mirror onto the base has broken off and it would not be safe unless you can let me know of a glue powerful enough to bond metal and still be safe.

Cheers for the help at least I got one done.

and for those after me the instructions will help a little
