Called Austral Motors today. . . $1130 for the towbar listed for the my12 D90. . asked for a quote on the Raa621. . . $430 plus GST.
can anyone tell me what the difference is? as the dealer told me the Raa621 wont fit a my1290? pulling my leg? should I just get it?

Something doesn't seem quite right here. The RAA621 is no longer offered and it won't fit your MY12 D90 - it is replaced by RAA623. The RAA623 ranges in price between around $430 and $490 +gst, so it seems to me that is what you've been quoted for. The RAA623 most definitely fit the MY12 D90, or at least it fitted mine with no real issues. $1130?? I didn't realise they did a Titanium version!
Good luck.

Thanks.
I think ill order the towbar some time soon, just need to sell more suzuki parts to fund it (parting out my old vitara)

The RAA623 towbar has been available in Australia for Defender 90s since 2010. It is not a new bar for MY12 D90s (I have one on my 2010 D90). The bar was engineered to meet Australian Standards when the Puma 90s were introduced to the Australian market. The tongue that goes with the bar is p/n RAA624.

Here are some photos of rear bar fitted to my MY12 D90. Part numbers RAA623 and 624 as stated above, provides the 50mm square hitch and fits with the rear step. Got it from Barbagallo Land Rover. Managed to pick up the wiring harness just inside the left rear wheel arch so made fitting pretty easy. Moved the trailer plug up into that hole in the rear bar that no-one seems to use.

SO MAYBE AN OBVIOUS QUESTION,... BUT
IS IT THE SAME PART NUMBERS AND FITTING TO A 110?
'12MY , '11 built

Im after the 2" "tube" style also

I have just got the 2" square tube type, it will be fitted and wired for 7 pin round, and included in warranty (as fitted by dealer) at a cost of $560 fitted,

This is the landy product and included the tongue.

After my ring around I figured this was a good price so have ordered it fitted.

(I'll be quite honest the people at Bundy M/Grp have been brilliant,
and they will store the car inside undercover until I get there to collect it which could be mid december (which by the way is killing me!) )
