That's the one to get!
With regards to tow bar, the patent has just run out on the landrover one, so Thule are now making the removable one with their own branding, they made the original one for LR anyway, I paid £300 Inc electrics fitted, if you buy an old one on eBay you are looking at £150 plus just for the ball MY10 TDV6 SE (debadged ), Santorini Black, Flappy paddles, Privacy Glass, 20" Stormers, Mudflaps!

You lost me on if a couple is 2 or 3
Seriously though i'm still unsure what i need to purchase, sorry

Do i need to purchase a Tow bar to be able to fit the Thule 9403?

Cheers

For that cycle carrier or any other that is for a towbar you can choose either fixed towbar which stays on vehicle or a removable one which stores in boot when not in use. You will also need electrics fitted to use the numberplate/light board
As I said in previous post you can get pattern part towbar by Thule from any Thule fitting centre for half price that landrover charge MY10 TDV6 SE (debadged ), Santorini Black, Flappy paddles, Privacy Glass, 20" Stormers, Mudflaps!

One of the funniest things Ive heard in a long time is this....

1039.00 GBP Fitted from LR Stealer and thats including discount for a LR Bike Carrier!!!! 

I think this may be what is being suggested by the forum members!
