Ask Chicken George for some advice. Use the forums PM system. He likes to be addressed, 'Fellow Caravaner." |

Go for the Brink or LR Detachable, looks neater, LR get their bars from Brink. there was some problems with the early detachables but I think Brink have managed to sort it now. A bumper cut about four inches square is required for the Brink/LR detachable bar but Witter do one that will not require a bumper cut.

No no no, there's no cutting involved unless you have the HST bodykit (is that still available?! |

Dave, mines cut and is the Brink/Thule Detachable, the crossmember will fit fit without cutting but it is pointless as if you dont do the cut you won't have full access to the receiver to insert the hook |

Not a good angle but Witter removable=no cut and can be fitted by any reputable fitting firm including software switching on, the height is less than the Brink but still way higher than the exhaust silencer.

I have the Landrover detachable towbar with 13 pin eletrics and its a fine piece of kit. I negotiated a great discount on it when I bought the car new - if you dont ask you dont get! It did require a bumper cut but you would never know.

decho, that's great to know. What kind of discount did you manage to get? I was going to ask for a substantial discount on the basis that this would clinch the order for the dealer. I am not sure where to start from as I'm not sure what kid of mark up there is on them - I understand that dealers often use accessories as inducements because the cost to them can be fairly insignificant in comparison with the saving to the buyer. |

I got the sd4 GS Model with lots of added extras, I just keep squeezing the dealer who was very good.
