Thread: Bullbar D4 MY14 Discovery on Bonnet

No problem getting a bar from OL over here.

As you've said, LandyAndy has one, and there's at least one more getting around Kalgoorlie that I know of.

Both supplied and fitted by OL in Bunbury.

According to both OL and ARB, they do not have certified bars for the MY 2014.. I've been waiting for 6 months . If someone is fitting ARB or OL bars to MY14s then I would suggest they may not have been tested.
I'm sure pre-MY14 bars fit, or can be made to fit but testing and certification must be vehicle/marque specific. OK the front end changes in the MY14 are cosmetic.. but its still different.
ECB don't envisage any problems but can't afford a vehicle to test on.
ARB are still in the process of developing. This was current as of last month. My mechanic spoke to them and I heard the conversation.

I can't see an Opposite Lock branch supplying and installing this and others like it if is not "tested" and certified safe for the vehicle it is installed on.

I also can't see LandyAndy allowing anyone to install something like this on his new D4 if there is any question about its legality / compliance.

As far as I'm aware, the differences between the latest model D4 and previous models are cosmetic only - there are no differences in the actual mounting of the bar. So the question of "testing" is a non issue.

The MY 14 D4 will accept the OL bar as you see in the pics.
OL put their own fog lights in,ARB use original which dont fit.OL retrofit early D4 washer jets as the MY14 are different.
Bar is classified for a D4,until a D5 comes out they dont need to re-classify.
Contact Toby at OL Bunbury,perhaps he can help your local OL man.I too got the run around from other OL dealers,one even told me he doesnt touch Landys.

The OL bars usually have a certification sticker inside the rh wing. Should satisfy any queries on compliance.

I thought the new front D4 sensors had moved location, may be why there are issues

I know someone who had an OL bar fitted to his MY14 HSE. It wasn't in Bunbury but I can't recall who did it. I think it was Welshpool.
