Bar work - Please help identify!

[Disco]

I'm in the process of purchasing a Disco and need some help identifying this nudge / roo bar.

Does anyone know who made it and or it's model number? It's fitted to a 2001 Td5

Your help will be greatly appreciated :D

That is a factory fit 'brush guard'. They are absolutely useless as a bar, and pay close attention to where the bottom mounting is attached to the brackets, I have seen one on a 2000D2 break off and get run over as it fell under the vehicle from a rusty lower tube:eek:
Best thing to do is take it off and fit a real bar with proper ecovery points. DO NOT use the 'towing eyes' on this bar to tie your dog or even pet hamster up to:(

looks like the factory bar.

Had one on my D1, as per Justinc it fell off due to rust and a rock tap

Don't do it

Get a stainless nudge bar instead if you want factory

But don't forget, NONE of them have decent recovery points anyway!

Stick it on ebay, you'll get $250 + for it that you can put towards a real bar. If all you want is to mount spotties and an Ariel to it will be ok if not rusted.

I don't know why they are called nudge bars because as soon as you nudge anything you bend them at the lower brackets or just crush them - made of very light gauge steel.

A big thanks to all who responded :) especially justinc and DiscoDan.

It's actually on the Disco I'm picking up on Friday and I'd figured it was about as good as a politicians election promises.

I can see it hitting trashBay in comming weeks once it's been replaced with something a hell of a lot tougher either an ARB or TJM but that's another can of worms I daren't open just yet.
