No the DII mirror will not work, different mount and the DI does not have the stuff required for the compass to work.
Any DI auto dim mirror you find is going to be in this same shape, they are all old.
However if you have a friend who lives in the UK he can get you a non auto dim DI mirror and it should mount right up no prob.
If you want a "fancy" mirror do like I did, cruise Craig's List and look for a aftermarket mirror with compass and temp and auto dim.
I got mine for $100 ($350 mirror) and then I went to the factory and had it installed.

C'mon man! I felt great with my fix; ignorance was bliss. I guess this goes on my to do list now. I hope I can get to it before the flesh eating liquid gets out. Lol.

Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea.

 

I know right??!!!

I never knew it either, then I saw the dash of a RRC where the mirror had leaked and it was pretty bad.
No holes in the dash but the dash was melted where the fluid had hit it.

I suppose you could remove the mirror, drill a small hole and drain the fluid out and then put it back.

 

After replacing mine twice, I put a '95 and earlier Discovery mirror in place of the oil filled one. Still have it on there.

 

This info is WRONG.

My D1 mirror had the messed up fluid too.

Paid Roverbones for a D1, but turns out he was out of stock. He had a D2 compass mirror but could not confirm fit.

Emailed Will Tillery. Said he has D2 compass mirrors only but they would work.

Since I had already paid Lincoln, I called him back and had him send out the D2 one.

Crimped the wires up and installed. Compass and Homelink work like a charm.

 

Ill add 2 tidbits to this story...

- My D1 (98) had an auto-dim mirror and hence had the 3 power wires for the rearview. I dont know if all editions of the D1 had auto-dimming. If they dont, then those will obviously not be able to make use of the compass and homelink of a D2.

- Lincoln initially sent me an auto-dim rearview with a slider on it. It seemed to mount up ok, but I soon realized that its range of motion didnt didnt allow for proper adjustment. The angles of movement wouldnt let someone under 6'2" see out the back. I assume it was a P38 RR mirror, but not sure.

 

Interesting, did not know a DII would work....... there's a couple at the bone yard, next time I'm out there.

 

Get a piece of mirror cut at a glass shop and they can cut it to fit over old mirror and recommend a way to "stick" it over the old one. I know several others that went this route and it worked well keeping all the mirror controls intact except auto dim of course.
