    Part number is RAA623, I bought mine from Barbagallos in Osborne Park for $429 and fitted it myself using the wiring colours from the forum here, I can't remember where I saw the wiring chart but it gave the colour that landrover provide on the vehicle and the alternate colour wire to splice it into on the towbar kit. There is a plug located behind a small plastic cover in the rear of the drivers side rear wheel arch, it's easy to get to - only two screws and I just cut the plug off and wired the towbar into it.

    Don't know what the difference is but I bought RAA623 as that was the part I was told I needed and it fitted straight up.

    Yeh I am unsure either. Is your Defender a 90 though? According to the LR catalogue the RAA623 is to suit the 90...

    I was just hoping to find the right number for a 110, so I can order it from the UK without the $200 mark up haha.

    Have you actually got a quote from the dealer for a towbar. I think you will find that the price is not prohibitive. Indeed I would be surprised if you can import a basic towbar cheaper than you can buy one here. And to boot, it will be Au compliant which the UK import will not be. Fitting a non-compliant towbar has all sorts of insurance implications and you certainly could not legally use it on Australian roads for towing!

    Cheers

    No I havent contacted a dealer as yet. However, I have found the RAA608 on UK sites for ~130GBP plus postage.

    When I ordered my 110 in November 2013, the dealer quoted $990 for LR tow bar. I was confident I'd be able to pick up one for less than that, as I had a 5 month wait for the vehicle.

    I ended up going with a heavy duty hayman reese one from ARB, which I ordered in February at a local 4WD show.

    Price including bar, 7-pin plug, ECU kit and 50mm chrome ball was $685 (including GST).

    This price does not include fitting.

    Cheers

    EDIT: I believe the Item Code for the bar was T02490R.
