Its Arrived all good so far---I'm loving it and I can play MP3 files
Just one question I had the dealer supply & fit a tow bar The demountable part is in a cardboard box in the back
I thought it should fit in the rear ns locker but there is just a bare space there. I thought it had a plastic storage
fitting to protect the wing panel
Should this come with the tow bar or is it a extra

There's one on eBay currently for £50, seems the going rate as I've seen them at that previously. Not sure what the LR rate is.
They fit well in the window boxes in the back of the D4, thats where mine lives. Nick

That's where mine lived until I changed to a fixed tow bar. However I was always a bit concerned about the tow ball cracking the bottom of the box, which seems quite thin plastic. Therefore I lined the box with bubble wrap. Rich
