Just buy a second hand Reece bar and be done with it. You can then use the receiver as a recovery point with the readily available attachments.

I'd be interested to hear what you find out. I'll ask my old dealership contact next time I see him too.

Still waiting for them to get back to me......

Just an update on this, I do have stickers on mine, so for now it's staying on.
Maybe one day I'll change it over and get a double hitch either side to accommodate a rear wheel carrier.

Sorry I haven't got back sooner but I can't seem to get anywhere with LR. As has been said they were removed when new but for what reason? Mine also has all the numbers and has just past rego where they said all ok, also they told me they are still selling swan neck versions new on bmw and some mercs.......blindin like you I will leave mine for now

I've been told it was to do with a lack of safety chain securing points but the towbar I removed has them in place.


I wonder if there's a regulation specifying the distance these need to be from the towball though - they might too far away.

Really don't know scouse....mine has the safety chain in the right spot, the only thing I can think of would be the size of the actual neck sticking out so far, the newer ones seem to tuck in better.
