Chaps, i need a towbar that has a US 2" reciever fiting so i can tow my offroad trailer with a nato hitch, anyone know of part numbers or in fact if one is available?

The FFRR armature takes a square receiver type drop plate tow hitch - this is bolted to a backing plate on the "hitch" and can be removed to replace it wih anything else that will fit into the same bolts positions. I converted mine to take a Freelander1 Bike rack and I can still use it as a tow hitch as well as the bike rack is mounted on a plate between the backing and drop plate hook. This is what it looks like

I dont need the drop plate as i have a reciever that the nato bolts to which is 2", it looks like i will just need the main assembly

Then you will need 1 of these then:

Great guys to deal with.

mmm not sure...thats just the tow hook isnt it?...i need all the metal work that mounts to the chassis with the square connection ready for me to mount my reciever/hitch.
If you look at the pic of the defender below you can see the green hitch attached to the reciever via 4 bolts that is in turn located into into a 2" reciever mounted on the cross member of the 110.

I want to be able to have the ability, using the same mounting solution, to mount the reciever to both the 110 and the rangie....does that make sense?

If i could find a pic, i recon the part number Tim quoted for the armature is the right part i need

It looks like what you need is the armature, basically it's a subframe that has the square receiver built into it and bolts on under the car - it was LRs attempt to make one system for all markets and has interchangeable fittings that go into the square receiver. I will scan the picture of it in the morning and also take a photo of what is on my car 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

D.C. i have the complete RR towbar that goes into the 2'' hole that i'm willing to flog, is that what you need... ... - .- -.
