Having suffered what could have been a very dangerous incident (tow bar came out of chassis and trailer headed off across the motorway with tower and fixed frame still affixed to the trailer....)
I can only find Thule / Genuine Parts / Witter, which all appear to work in the same (il-fated) way with a sprung locking pin into the chassis, which is why this design failed for me.
Cheers

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception......
Any ideas?Mitch

I think I have seen something on here before about using a foreign tow bar and I seem to remember the opion was it wouldn't be type approved for use over here.Andy

The tow trust bar is the one I use. (TL1 I think)
The pin bolts in instead of the way the genuine one does

I have one on my vehicle which i use to tow heavy off road caravans deep into the African bush and it is also used to tow my race car.
Been using it for 4 years on my D3 and D4. Its a fantastic product and has been SABS tested. See here:
If there is interest here i will try get hold of the company and refer them to this thread. Let me know.

I know this an old topic. I am new to the forum and i am very interested in buying a G4outdoor towbar for my discovery 4. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to get one in the uk.
Thanks.
