I have the Brink (Thule) removable on my FL2 which was fitted at the LR dealers before I took delivery. It was the type recommended by them and I was not given an alternative choice. Unfortunately I don’t have any experience of the Westfalia type. All I can comment on is that the Brink has an excellent locking system and works perfectly. Hope this helps The only problem I had was electrical (no connection) which meant a revisit to the dealer to get this sorted, but I never got an explanation as to what was the problem (my wife collected the car and didn’t ask). 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof. Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc. |

I rRecently fitted a witter removeable towbar and it works great, it didn't need any cutting of the bumper and was a doddle to install. Are you having it installed with LR if not make sure they are aware of the electrical issues that are discussed in earlier posts. |

I had the LR detatchable towbar fitted prior to collection and never had any problems with it, very easy to use and i can put it on/take it off quite easily without asking hubby for help also with LR fitting it the towbar and electrics are covered by the warranty. |

Sorry about not posting the pics. The update is that the fitters got another batch of Westfalia from Germany and they were also offset, the reason is that the housing that the ball slots into on an entire batch has been welded out of centre making the ball skew left by 2cms. I am still waiting for a replacement. Regards |

Picked up our 2013 HSE this week and it came with a removable tow bar which was on at the time.The salesman said the key for removing it would be in the boot but have not come across it yet.

My Land Rover Retailer fitted Brinks detachable is now on its second car (both with LR electrics) and it has performed flawlessly throughout.
