Towbar options

OK, seems like we're off with the Tintent in 2 weeks. That leaves me with a small issue of the new ride not coming with a towbar. Dealer won't throw one in as I drove him hard on the deal anyway. Apparently it's gonna cost me £1080. Yeah, right.

So, do Westfalia still make the genuine LR item? I note the one on LR-Parts has options for under-tray cover thingies which P F Jones don't seem to list. Jones's are 200 quid cheaper than LR Parts so I would rather get that and then buy the tray covers from LR if necessary. Oh, I am looking at the removable unit, not the electric one and not the multi-height one.

Also, do the electrics have to be enabled via diagnostics?

TIA

Dom

Cheers, I saw that. What isn't clear is the under tray cover things which are available from LR Parts.

What I think is that these are just cut versions of the original which allows the armature to show through without removing the cover??
See here
http://www.lrparts.net/vplgt0082-multi-hei...acket.html

It quotes 4 parts numbers. VPLGT0082, VPLGT0097, LR037931 and LR037913 which can all be seen on this page
http://www.lrparts.net/vehicle/range-rover...trics.html

Looks like a tow eye cover, an undertray, some foam mounts and the towbar kit itself. Incidentally they quote this as the multi-height towbar but the image shows the removable one.

Confused

Yes, thanks for that. So it looks like those 2 covers replace what's already there but they are cut away to allow the towbar to poke through. If I order those 2 with the P F Jones item I should be fine.

I think I'll get genuine LR electrics, just a case of how to get then enabled on the car now. Thumbs Up

Get the dealer to throw the programming in😜 when you have had the stuff fitted. It's 5 mins, and won't cost them anything as it's just programming. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Or get the dealer to supply and fit the electrics only ?

Presumably there should be somewhere they can cable tie the socket behind the plastic cover you're going to replace.

If you're going to be anywhere near me then let me know - I'll be there 25 Aug until 4 Sept Thumbs Up
