A friend of mine has a new TDV6 and he is looking at fitting a towbar. Apparently, it's a snap in thing. Landrover have quoted him £370 for the part. Does anyone know of a (cheaper!) alternative?

I'm sure if he can afford a LR3 (lucky git) he can afford a genuine tow bar!

Me - "I just need to spend £X on a widget"
Mrs - "What! More bits! You should have got everything you needed when you bought the damn thing, the amount you paid for it!"

He might be going to Canada soon and he's offerd me first dibs on his car at trade when he comes to go......time to start saving me pennies!

Make sure there is a Towbar on before you buy it though, otherwise it could cost you upto 370 quid. I wouldn't want to spend all that cash then have to fork out again....lol

I'm not such a lucky git :) - I've just boughta 2000 disco & need to fit a towbar. Am short of ££££ - is there much difference between LR towbars & aftermarket? I will be towing 2 large horses in a 1T trailer, in case relevant - all advice appreciated thanks

I had a Witter towbar on my Freelander and that pulled or caravan and various trailers no problem. Witter are a very good make. Not sure about other makes though!
