Hi Guys, I.m about to take delivery of new FL2 and have a towbar question................... is there any kind of subframe under the car that accepts a towbar or is it a case of starting from scratch with new towbar and subframe

Thanks

For a long while now new cars are have their chassis or subframe already drilled to suit a towbar so to answer your question it's a 'start from scratch job' but the manufacturers make it very easy for an aftermarket bar to be fitted. So really it's your choice on where you want to spend your money either at a LR dealer fit (They will get someone in to do it though) or go to towbars 'R' us. They will be all I think they call 'type approved' so the actual bar is the easy bit.
The tricky bit is the electrics which either plug into the LR system ££££ or could in theory just scotch lock into the wiring system, with this system though, kiss goodbye to any warranty comeback on the electrics.
If you use 'non dealer' electrics you might have to spend about £50 after, at the dealer, in order for the trailor warning light on the dash and cancellation of the parking sensors etc to work - there are lots of other posts on this

Gotcha Mc............. well explained my friend

Got a quote of £235 all in with 13 pin lecs for fixed ball............... is that a fair price? 2010 FL2 XS Auto in Santorini Black with HSE alloys

Looks good Marky go for it - I favour the removable ones which are obviously dearer as I don't like the idea of an extension of my chassis sticking out of the back of the car (What would happen in a rear end shunt ?) plus my knee doesn't like the fixed units either
It's about another £80/£100 xtra but over the length of time we keep our cars and the fact that I always take the full bar off and sell it privately when we trade the car in I prefer it.
Don't forget you still might need the main dealer tweak for the electrics

Yeah same firm did my snap off on the AUDI for £400, Landrover want around £500+ for a non snap off, tried my best to get one thrown in but all they'd do was 2k discount, landrover experience, brolly, mats, boot mat and mud flaps so suppose they all add up to somewhere near a towbar, have to get it sorted as using the 'trailer' in April 2010 FL2 XS Auto in Santorini Black with HSE alloys

FYI - My genuine LR one has got Brink stickers all over it !!! Try have a 'tinternet search on ££££ as I can highly recommend
