What is different about the MY14 model that the earlier bar won't fit??

I'm guessing its likely "we haven't fitted one to check"

Just like they wouldn't fit the V8 Petrol - until someone fitted one

That's what I thought to, but seems not the case. I know when after I ordered our '14 model LR had a clearance on their alloy front bars, I think there was also a thread on here about them too...anyway I enquired about getting one and was told it won't fit onto '14 models & that was also stated in the T&C's of the bar.

ARB also mentioned to me the mount points on the '14 model are different, otherwise he could've sold me one.

That should mean a simple crush can/mount redesign and the same bar should bolt on

One can only hope it's that simple....

They are some what different for the MY14 Discovery. The old part number 3232200 and they recently released the 3232210 which they were going to fit to my car; however, it didn't fit. Something to do with the air bags, lights, mount positions and change in the bumper shape. Just for info the new bar for the MY14 Discovery is a 3232220 and it needs to be completely redesigned. I spoke to Melbourne the other day and the fact that they now the part number it shouldn't be to long of a wait, hopefully!!! So I can confirm that the bar released recently does not fit. Hope this helps.

Spoke to LR spare parts yesterday, guy said don't hold your breath, and all that stuff about not fitting anything non LR supplied cos it could void warranty so I gave him the quizzical look...'even side steps' yep, he said, could damage the compressor when you install them 'what about roof rails?' Yep he said, you have to drill holes and only LR workshop should do that so I told him I'd just put a set on and he wanted to know how I drilled the holes, what holes mate, there's 4 threads each side. Oh but don't you have to cut the channel strip? OMFG? It was a fun visit, I won't go into the snorkel/RAI comments...
