One thing to bear in mind with the towbar is that if you fit anything other than the genuine LR edition - you will loose the back step.

Scallops,

You don't loose the step with the Opposite Lock/Front Runner unit either.

OK - good to know - thanks. I've just bought Numpty's genuine TB though!

I've confirmed with Austral that it is identical to the ones they're ordering for the 07 Fender.
And mac - the step towbar combo thingo from England is not allowed to be fitted here
- I can confirm that.

i have a mantec snorkel for the 07 defender

cost me 640 dollars landed from the uk..............better than the 1400 dollars we were quoted from landrover for snorkel and fitting

the mantec is easy to fit!!!!!!!

Thanks

The dealer (MLR Melb) thru in the genuine tow bar(as well as weather shields and genuine matts) as part of the deal

I am in the process of ordering a new defender and am getting the genuine snorkel.
I think it was available with a 2 week lead time. (paperwork at home)

Talk to the dealers spare parts department, they have a much better idea of what accessories are available.
I even have an accessories catalogue for the new defender and the only things in it that not suitable for Austraila are the tow hitches.
Cargo barrier looks really crappy so will wait for aftermarket or make my own.

When I bought mine there was an accessories list also but the dealer said the accessories are not available here yet and no one had been trained how to fit them. I believe things have changed but not all accessories are available I believe.

Maybe it's just me, but that snorkel is ugly.

I prefer the Safari one.
