Have you got a link to these? I'm in the UK week after next, so if I know what I'm looking for, can find them at any of the LR places I'm going (Stocking up on bits for the Defender), and if they don't weigh a ton, I may bring some back!

Hi muppo,
If you are considering fitting a bullbar at some stage, look at the ARB "Deluxe" bar. I've just fitted one and it includes an under bar "stone" guard to replace the useless plastic bit from LR and makes the retrieval "loop" permanently available.

I think that the "stone" guard may be a bit light on, but forms a wonderful pattern for something heavier.

Best Wishes,

I just fitted the TJM bullbar and found that a cable for the air suspension which loops around the front chassis rail is exposed to road damage. It is on the drivers side and has a plug on it for the air suspension control block which sits in behind the bar. I also had a look at the ARB bar fitted to a D3 and while it is not exposed to the same degree there was a gap in the bar on the RH side of the chassis rail where a stick could enter and cut the cable, hence no air suspension:o. I made up a plate to cover mine. See pic for the cable in question.
