2011/12 110 Wagon

[ezyrama]

Hi All
I have just had a long ranger tank fitted to my wagon, the towbar (Hayman Reese 2490) wont go back on. Can someone tell me which one will fit as arb book says R1974 doesnt work after 07 model
Thx Ian

Anyone have a longranger tank fitted and a hayman reese they could check the model number on the compliance plate pls

[DiscoMick]

I do, but I'm at work and it's at home, so I'll try to check when I get home.

Sorry Ian.
I have a 2012 110, with Long Ranger and I though it was an Heyman Reece but may be ARB. I can't remember if I put that plastic edging on the receiver myself or not.
Either way, I hopped under the truck and there is no compliance plate on the tow bar body anywhere.
I have no receipt for it either which is interesting.
Sorry mate.

Pretty sure you just have to take a nick out of the inside radius's on the tow bar.....

The Hayman Reese towbar that works with a Long Ranger tank is;

*Hayman Reese 02488R - I think because its for a chassis cab and not a wagon, the square tube part sticks out further and is clear of the tank.

*Now saying that, the last Long Ranger tank I fitted onto a Defender TDCi (puma) wagon had a towbar already installed at time of purchase by the dealer. I was able to mod the towbar so it would fit back on, when I say mod, it was only a matter of linishing a bevel on the top back edge of the side plates to clear the tank. I'm pretty sure it was also a Hayman Reese towbar, maybe the same model as what you have.

Sorry I didn't get home until late, so I didn't take a pic, but I thought Dazza had already answered your inquiry. From his pic his towbar appears to be the same as mine.

Told ARB the info Daz posted so hopefully we are on the right track
Cheers Ian

No worries. Can I ask if your Long Ranger tank is 120 litres?

[ezyrama]

ARB told me its 125ltr. There catalogue says 127ltr
I think its the only size longranger market for our trucks

[DiscoMick]

Thanks. I've been trying to find out the size of mine.

The towbar plate is hard to read, but appears to be:

Tow bar part no. 01R012
Tongue part No. 5163
Towing 3500
Towballl 250 kg.

Hope that helps.
I can't find anything on the fuel tank to give it's size.

Apparently I have a Trailboss tow bar. It was fitted when I bought it.
The Trailboss site calls it a QTRV16.
So that could be another option to investigate.

Interesting, when I fitted long range tank and towbar to my County I figured it was minor differences between County and Defender but I had to trim the tow bar arms to get it to fit as well as some other minor grinds in corners. Far from a direct fit.

Long range tank: Long Ranger 120 TR40

Hayman Reece Tow bar - 01974R

[DiscoMick]

I had never heard of Trailboss until I cleaned the dirt off mine and read the writing.

ARB told me its 125ltr. There catalogue says 127ltr

from memory......
127lt is for a TD5 Defender.
125lt is for a TDCi (puma 2007 on) Defender.

*The first tank I fitted to a TDCi (puma) Defender, I had issues where the location tab on the sender assembly / fuel pump assembly compared to the provision on the tank. The TDCi (puma) Defender has the location tab 90 degrees round further compared to a TD5 Defender. I like I'm sure others have done is to cut the tab off.

*Long Ranger admitted at the time that they hadnt actually fitted one of their tanks to a TDCi (puma) Defender, this may not be the case now and they may well have provisioned the tab recess in the correct spot.... or not.

*The pic I posted is one of many a new Defender that I've fitted out, some customers do it all at once, some doing it progressively. Either way most spend less on fitting out their Defender than other customers spend on fixing their Discovery 4s

P.S With the Long Ranger tank fitted, the fuel tank gauge will barely move for a very long time, careful you dont get caught out, but that 1000km's should now be well achievable

[ezyrama]

Lol, like it. 320km so far and the gauge hasnt moved, thx for the heads up on that, I have been watching it today. Hopefully i can get the towbar sorted this week. ARB are telling me the 1974R is only current till 07 models with this tank.

My Puma does up to 450 kms before the gauge moves, so you may have a bit further to go.

Thanks Mick. I'll have to drive him around the block a few more times [smilebigeye] How many km on average from a tank do you get?

[DiscoMick]

I've never run it dry but 1000-plus is certainly doable.

[ezyrama]

Well they fitted the new towbar today, fitted the 02488R as stated by Daz, thx mate. It has worked a treat but does seem to hang down and out a fair bit. Cant do anything about the hanging out bit, it"ll stop idiots running into the the rear end, but if I do a 2" lift, the hanging down bit may be sorted. The only problem I may have is that SWMBO may now not come away with me if she cant get up into the Tardis. Now tell me, is that really a problem?[emoji41][emoji41]
BTW, 410km and still no movement on the fuel gauge yet.
Cheers Ian
