you more than likely will not find from any Land Rover dealer as L/R have pulled them from sale as they were having too many warranty issues with them. Whether they re-instate them  You want it for how much !!!!!

I am still in shock over the p/ex value for mine - so an easy target
The cost to change is now greater for me now to move into an 18 month old one than it was 9 months ago to move into a brand new one.
Who says there is a recession??? really ought to change this.........

Hi Nick,
Don't suppose you have any of these lying around do you? (the bit the arrows are pointing to)
I fitted the A9 to my roof a few months ago and although I reckon it looks good, I think I could make it great with the correct mount, especially if the old fitting kits are just lying around l
Just to make it .... 
By the way I waited for about 4 months before one came up on Ebay, however Iat the time the only place for me to buy was in the US..
Thanks

By the way SPOTTER. the A7 is actually a better fit in the space where I installed my A9 as it is a smaller unit in dimension (depth across the side) and there is less overlap. The A9 does however have an extra 2 inches of monitor, and no need for me to disucss the benefits of that....

My A7 has been in for 2 years now and is a great unit. It does fit better than the larger ones and does block the rear view....but not as much as the bike rack and tintent A few extra's.....

Spotter, surprisingly the rear view is quite good, as the unit does not sit as low as it would if it was fiited with the plastic base. The A7 will provide even better visibility as it is 20mm shorter in depth.
It is definitely the cheapest and simplest installation to do and would highly recommend it as it is permanent yet can be easily removed without a trace of it ever being fitted....
And most imoportantly, peace and quiet on long journeys! What's the point.... it all comes out in the wash anyway!
