I’ve just changed my towcar to an Audi Q2. My Milenco mirrors (7 years old now) do not feel safe and secure. I’m looking at the latest Milenco Platinum mirrors and wondered if anyone has any experience of those, good or not-so-good?

I gave up Milenco's and spent out on EMUK and would never use anything else now. The fitting is positive as its made to fit the individual model and if you change car you can keep the mirrors and buy the appropriate attachment. They're easy to attach and solid as a rock.

I too have Emuks. I wouldn’t use any others - they aren’t cheap, but they are vibration free, easy to fit and don’t block the indicators, or the view over the top of the standard mirrors. They also fold safely with the car mirrors without hitting windows or bodywork.

For info. Towingmirrors.uk sources their kit from Zolio BV in the Netherlands. I’ve ordered a pair for just a smidgen under £100 and been told 3 to 4 days for delivery (included) by DPD. Thanks everyone for your help.

Not a problem. The chances of Mrs C letting me change the car again anytime soon is about the same as Roger winning Strictly (sorry Rog, wish it were not so!).

I would think they would sell well secondhand on Ebay? No cost to sell on there now - just a buyer's "premium"...

I was lucky that I have swapped from a Volvo V70 to a V40 and the mirrors are the same shape despite having very different shape indicators, so it's effectively the same mirror.

I have, incidentally, cut 50mm off the end of the arms on mine, because they stick out so far when towing an Eriba. The law is that any mirrors must not protrude more than 250mm beyond the width of the outfit.

There is a safety lanyard available as an extra, which I bought when I bought the mirrors, I but have given up using them, because the assembly is so solid and the lanyard ends tend to flap about, which i find irritating. I have also now bought the anti-theft kit for peace of mind at service station stops - I got them from the UK site, but they were posted from Zolio in the Netherlands.

I have ordered a set of mirrors (EMUK) via the link. £124 including an ant-theft thingy. I didn't bother with the safety lanyard as the flapping about might be irritating. 3 - 4 days delivery via DPD.

I've been using Towsure Rock Steady mirrors (£40) but these are fixed on using rubber straps and clips. The top thumbscrews have got little plastic 'spreaders' which tighten up against the top of the mirrors - the problem is that these can easily fall off and if lost (maybe in long grass) you will have an unmountable mirror.

The other big downside on the Towsure mirrors is that (1) the fixing clips interfere with the movement of the electric mirrors, so if you change drivers and want to adjust the car mirrors - you can't, and (2) each time you fit the mirrors you need to adjust them to suit. A PITA if you are on your own.

I'm hoping the EMUK mirrors are much better as they are designed for the car (a Subaru XV).
