    Wanted - MRC8270 Land rover series 3 mirror heads

    Are these what you are looking for? I have just found a pair of them in my shed while looking for something else.

    Yes and no, these are RatDyot's rather than Wingard but the two are contemporary, dimensions of mirror heads should be 7" x 5".

    Is that MOD packaging? would appreciate pic of the box labeling especially date of manufacture if you don't mind.

    If they are going spare, I'll have them off you.

    Regards

    Hi All,

    For the record my vehicle is Lightweight 19HF27, FFR, build date Dec '79.

    The correct mirrors for the vehicle as built are MRC8276, see Land rover fiche parts catalogue RTC9968FA, Series III, 88"-1/2 ton Military Vehicle (Air Portable - Lightweight) 12 and 24v, fiche 2 D7.

    This is the correct item: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gen-NOS-Land-Rover-Series-2-2a-3-Large-Convex-Door-Wing-Mirror-Head-MRC8276/401776109190 - at one hell of a ridiculous price!!!

    All I'm after is a couple of good seconds.

    Yes the tractor mirrors are very very similar but not quite right.

    Thanks for all the input.

    I think you mean  MRC 8276

    You are right, MRC8276 convex, not MRC8270 which are flat (my typo error).

    My vehicle is a December '79 build Lightweight FFR. Currently it is fitted with the later, August '82 on until production end, Defender type MTC5083 door mirrors mounted via brackets MRC2863 to the top door hinges.

    My intention is to replace these with the correct for build MRC4583 mirror arms and MRC8276 heads. I have a good pair of original Land rover (Wingard) MRC4583 arms but I need a pair of the original Land rover (Wingard) MRC8276 steel mirror heads to go with them. The mounting bracket is the same for either.

    So, anyone with a decent pair of the aforesaid MRC8276, I would be very appreciative. Not bothered if the glass is broken.

    Regards and thanks for the input.

    Problem resolved with the 353 problem, having checked and re-checked everything several times I concluded it must be the 353. Swapped it out and problem solved. So there must be some internal problem on the microphone line on the harness socket.

     

    Me again, have you conducted the functional checks on the swopped out unit? Pecs for 353's are relatively easy to obtain if you can isolate the problem and fairly straight forward to repair. Again, don't bin the set.

    Hi Bob, yes I have power at the power cable so it looks like the unit is a gonner. Pity as I had BID simulator which looked quite good when all lit up (from a display point of view)

     

    Ok, sorry it seems to be a goner but they are not expensive these days, you can pick them up for around £80 working. I also have a BID sim 250/11 in mine, all working. Best of luck with another but keep your old one and open it up. There is a fuse circuit board inside it which may be the problem but usually there's a wider problem causing it to fail. I have the test data somewhere but you need the tester (and user instructions for it) to conduct the testing and they are very rare. I only know of one in private hands at this moment.

     

    Regards

    Aside to this problem and nothing to do with it, I also have a DMU which used to light up when switched on but no longer does so. The 3 amp fuse adjacent to the on off switch is OK, is there another fuse inside the unit or are there any other obvious reason why it is now dead?

     

    Sorry to state the obvious but start with the PDB fuse and check your power cable for output to the DMU, it may just be a bad connection. There is no internal fuse.

    Hi Iain,

    Thanks for all the excellent info, much appreciated. It has certainly filled a gap in my knowledge.

    I was aware of the crypto museum site.

    Another thing, I have tried to find out info on the BID300 in the past but failed, don't even know what it looks like.

    Anything on that?

    Regards

    Bob
