It’s easy! Do it yourself
Cap off, mirror pulls off, remove motor (1 screw in centre) unplug wiring, remove 2 screws to the motor and whole mirror assembly pulls off, no need to bother with door card removal etc unless the part bolted to the door is damaged.

Thanks guys, but it is the part that fits to the door that is damaged so looks as if the door card has to come off
Oh deep joy!. Oh well in for a penny in for a pound I can only break it can't I?

Removing the door card is pretty simple - just had to do it with mine.
Type Door Card Removal into the search and there is a link to a You Tube Video on how to do it.

Also, if you don't already have them, it is worth investing in a set of plastic trim removal tools. (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal.
