Thread: 09 Defender 110 vs SVX

Yes, I am sure they are working flat out to solve the conundrum that is FOUR mounting bolts!

...and I still haven't worked out exactly what they had to change on the pre-2007 Defender bars. Methinks someone at ARB R&D is just trying to ensure their job security by making these problems seem bigger than they really are.

Thanks Scallops - I look forward to the Piccy. Your idea sounds the best actually. Many thanks!

Issue with the bar on an SVX is high beam is obstructed by the bar as they now have a secondary hig beam light, the bar is technically not supposed to obstruct any lights. No change to pre 07 bars just have to make sure you order the bar for aircon cars as the grill sticks out further, sounds like you have someone at your ARB store who does not not know what they are talking about.
I have fitted an ARB bar to an SVX, the bash plate does need to be modified for them to go on though.

Hi Wortho.
Have you got an ARB bar specific for the SVX or have you got the bar that interferes with the lights? Or did they make alterations to the bar? Really would appreciate what you did as the info I have is there is currently NO BAR for the SVX and they rang Head Office from the store I was at while I was at the counter...??

He would lose way to much money trading it in on a head stone

Thank you for all the replies. I had decided not to pursue the svx option. Mainly due to colour reasons and because I can add the options which I actually need.

Thanks again.

Cooch

Normal bar for the Defender fits on, will interfear with the small high beam light only, is that a problem for you???? only you can answer that, will be checking with customer to see what he thinks about it after using for a couple of weeks now.
