Thread: Bullbar D4 MY14 Discovery on Bonnet

Regarding the OL bar - I was told they are going into full production in 6 weeks about a week ago

Go a Runva mate.

Better water sealing, full coverage warranty - including water ingress...

The Brawn is also sealed. The corrosion was on the edge of the drum and the electrics.

I tried the radio volume control on my TDV6 MY15, but nothing happened. I presume you have the radio turned off for this procedure and you turn the volume down as soon as you select Reverse and hear the high pitched sound.

I now get that high pitched sound the first time I select "R" which I understand from a previous post is telling me that the rear sensors are disconnected because one of them was removed when the OL rear wheel carrier was installed.

Howdy, my local opposite lock store is having trouble fitting a winch to this bulbar on a 2015 discovery. Have you or anyone else found a winch that will fit?

Thanks

At last OL dealer rang me last night and said bars are available
even sent pictures of a bar with a winch as well. Fuji white as well with black bar,will do me fine
hopefully the price will be good as well.

That looks exactly like the one that is on my Discovery - must be the other one that is in the country at the moment

So got by disco back tonight from OL, without the RUNVA winch, they had heaps of trouble with it. Although finally they have said that they will need to lower the winch and rotate it, and use an offset hawse and it should be fine.
Did get the colour matched bar and snorkel though. Hopefully in a week or so it will all be sorted. They said new bar coming our end of July but expect it to be later. I suspect the above white disco with the winch is actually the GM's car (the guy at the shop mentioned it) and that it is the test unit of the new bar not the current one available.

Dmakcorp, which Melbourne OL dealer did you go to? The northern suburbs one I visited a couple of weeks back had no idea what to do or when they'd come out or even if they'd come out and had no idea on price. I too want either OL or ARB bar colour-coded white with a synthetic rope winch, so sounds very similar to your needs. As a firm believer in 'buyer beware, have you actually seen the OL bar 'in the flesh' rather than just pictures? If so, where and I'll make a special visit.

Winch choices?
I am looking at the new Warn Zeon 10S winch which apparently is the latest and greatest and is 'fully sealed' (the sales spiel suggests it doesn't need to be serviced, which sounds attractive but not entirely believable). Anyone had any experiences with these winches, good or bad? They aren't the cheapest but I want it to last a long time (although realistically it will only get infrequent use).
