removeable tow bar

is this meant to be standard? i have space for it in the foam boot inlay - did the previous owner forget to put it back?

And its at least £300 quid for the attachment - plus the electrics to be wired. A good incentive not to leave it attached to the back of the car and to always put it away, under the boot mat when not in use!

I bought a detachable official LR badged kit including wiring loom for £180 on ebay.
The local dealer charged £80 to fit it including fuse circuit etc.

I HAD been quoted £465 plus vat from 'another' dealer.

Many thanks SW - I have done that same search but nothing LR badged like Zoo's. The £300 approx sets are all Thules

Managed to find a 13 pin set from towequipe on ebay, with a continual charging attachment for £110 and looking at the towbars it will be about another £180.

Thats £290 but only the towbar is LR badged but I have an LR specialist who will fit and ECU for Approx £100 - Just need to take the plunge but awaiting my RRS on a transporter from down south!

All in all a bit less than LR costs - even with our sponsors help. Cant fault the sponsors but they are up against it. Now - MY11 RRS Autobiography TDV6, Orkney gray, tints, steps, daylight running lamps and allllll the toys!!!

Steuart64 - apologies for the late reply - been away.
PM me and I will look out the invoice when back in office this week.

£180 for bar from ebay - there abouts - and local approved fitted single electrics wiring loom (supplied) for £85. Circuit board and Fused etc.

I was shocked how much the dealers wanted for the whole party. I did manage to spend a grand on the service however!!

tow bar key

Hi,
been searching but this post is the most relevant to my question.

I have the tow bar but the key is missing from the previous owner. Is it possible to order new keys only? I have some language difficulties to discuss this with the official dealer here locally and would appreciate your thoughts on this.

thanks

Svante

You can get replacement keys from LR - with my first RRS I had a problem with the lock which caused the key to bend, got a new lock and keys under warranty.

The key should not come out of the lock when off the car BTW, so if the towbar is in the boot with no key in then you may need to look at the lock also...

Look on our sister site disco3.co.uk - there is a way to replace the whole locking mechanism if you've lost the keys. IIRC. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.
