Thread: Discovery 3 & towbars

All the Disco's come with that silly low slung hitch tongue if they have the Rover towbar, just replace it with the Hayman Reece tongue, i did for our off road camper, i only use the Rover one when i'm towing our box trailer to the tip or when i go bike riding as it has a ball and not a trigg hitch for the camper.

Whereabouts are you located Jam??

Location is Canberra,so there is only one dealer here to work with.

The showroom here has one car with a towbar on it, and all it shows is the lump of metal sitting very low and under the car. the plastic cover is still on the bumper with the hitch receiver hanging below that. The salesman doesnt seem to clued up that with a raised van, the hitch on the van sits higher than normal.

It seems to me that the shank on the hitch needs to very long and would sit very low. Does the plastic cover hide another box hitch receiver?

As much as I like the car - this is a show stopper if it cannot be resolved. As mentioned in my first post the hitch receiver needs to be about 140mm higher off the ground...

Make sense?
Thanks

Have you allowed of the air springs to come up once running? Call Hayman Reece and find out if they have a bar out yet, or ARB for a full replacement rear bar with hitch.

Don't rely on the local Canberra dealer. I am still waiting for the call from them to test drive a Defender. This was before I found and bought the secondhand one I now have. I pick it up in early march. Silly really as I told then it was a lease plan so if I was happy all I needed was the vehicle details and their info and the company would order and pay them for it.

Oops - small typo in the last post - it should read 140mm higher not 14 mm!!

Thanks

Why no see Haig Park 4wd at Mitchell - they might be able to help.
