Thread: LR Discontinued part

I thought the ARB bar was the same but turns out the lights arn't.

Has anyone else had this issue and located the part somewhere else? I would consider exchanging both combo lights for a single indicator.

Cheers Rob.

This is of interest to me, as I probably have the same type of bar on my Defender (purchased Aug 2004). Who makes the bullbar? Is that made by Rinder also?

I would have thought that LR Aust would have to supply replacement parts for 10 years, if it was part of the supplied specification of the vehicle. It would have had to pass ADRs etc., and is a roadworthy item.

I would be contacting LR Aust about this, not just a dealer.

Cheers,

Post a pic of the part - it may be that supercheap (et al) sell similar sized replacements. I know that they sell a combo parking light/indicator light for a bullbar, but without a pic it's hard to tell if it will fit your bullbar

This is a long shot but if it is the bull bar that came with the extreme:




then the lights sold by Narva might be worth looking at for size:

Thanks guys, yes it is an extreme with a factory bar. I was told I collected the last lamp unit available, thats not to say LR wont be seeking the part through another manufacturer.

I went to my local auto elect who restores Leyland & Mini.... states, "Lucas lighting was the prince of darkness".

Pics to follow.

A quick measurement shows that this would not really fit. My bullbar has the LR emblem stamped on it, and was part of the car as delivered, so as far as I'm concerned, it is up to them to make replacement parts available. If the original suppliers are not able to help, then I am sure LR will have to find another.

Oh well it was worth a go.

I understand that the Extreme (and its bull bar) was put together for the Australian market and if I can adopt a jaundiced view LRA are probably not likely to be interested. I hope to be proven wrong.

sorry, thats probabley my fault, Ive probabley destroyed say 3/4's of the australian supply so I did some thing about it and made up mounts for LED lights and then put some armour on them.

I checked the dimentions of the narva lights, the LR one is larger being 180w, 60h, 52d.
