Discovery 3 Removable tow bars
« on: January 24, 2007, 08:09:07 »
Anyone had one fitted? Just wondered how much people have paid. Quoted £800 from Hartwells in Northampton. Hmmmm........ Think its only a genuine Landrover fit so have they got me over a barrel or is their another option. Thanks in advance, Dave

I've got the Landrover one on my disco and works very well, can't comment on price as it was included when I bought it.

I have no problem putting it on and off but the girlfriend struggles on her own...  I have ended up leaving it on all the time.  Only thing I worry slightly about is the key barrel getting seized from mud etc...

my next door neighbour had his from ebay for £150. Had to buy genuine electrics though that cost a bit.

Needed the tow bar fitting so got one fitted at Hartwell in Northampton. Apart from being overpriced (Genuine Landrover Parts) and the service being slightly lacking it seems to work fine.

Anyone had any dealings with Hartwell at all. Be interesting to hear other peoples views on them.

All the best, Dave
