Thread: bullbar petrol disco3

Hi guys, the D3 bars have been designed and tested for fitment to diesel models only (excluding HSE) as indicated in our price list.

I will make some enquiries with our engineers to find out what the issues are with fitment to petrol models and post it here for clarification.

Cheers, Sam.

My local Oposite Lock store assured me that their post bar would fit my V6, so I ordered one. I would have had it fitted, too, if they hadn't stuffed me around for three months promising me week after week that it would soon be delivered (after suggesting it could be as little as two weeks)....

Whilst all the talk of bull bars, did I read correctly on the LR Australia site that there is now a factory D4 alloy Bullbar available? Would these be able to be fitted to a D3?

You did, and most likely it would - you would need to check though. Here is a post about it:

It is very expensive compared to the other offerings.

Had a look through Topix and couldn't find any installation instructions. Like to know how it comes together re: trimming wheel arches, infill between headlight and bar. Curious if it is compatible with discrete LR winch mount. Anyone the wiser?

Hi Sam,

Re excluding HSE diesels, you better tell all the existing HSE owners that have ARB bars that they won't fit.

I went into a ARB store over a year ago and was told that ARB don't make a bar that can be fitted to a diesel HSE, knowing there are plenty that have them fitted I rang the head office and the person I spoke to told me that their bars can be fitted to HSE's no problem at all.

cheers,
Terry

Gday Thommo, they do make alloy bullbars, 2 problems though

1- they are over $4,000 fitted
2- it will probably be the UGLIEST accessory you added to your LR

I contacted ARB here today (Adelaide) asking for a quote on a bullbar for my 2007 Disco 3 2007 V6 Petrol and was told that they would contact Melbourne (head Office?) and ring me back as they had had an email within the last 2 weeks asking them if they had fitted a Bullbar to this vehicle. Anyway they rang back and said they would order a bar and attempt to fit it! they would need the vehicle for 2 days and quoted $2100 inclusive GST for a winch bar. I expressed surprise that no one had attempted this before. What do you think???
