Also - with the towtrust one, it looks like the ball is a good few inches further back than where the ball is with the LR fixed bracket.

Interesting to see if you feel a bit more movement from the rear as the pivot point and leverage are further out.

Well mine arrived today as promised. Looks very well made, solid. Will feel more confident towing with this in place when towing the tin tent.
Will put the removable on sale soon along with the storage bracket I bought but didn't fit.
In answer to one or two questions on here, it looks very neat, less like a selection of steel bits that some do.
Just need a bit of dry weather to fit it Thumbs Up

Those TT bars look seriously tasty. Nice!
The OEM fixed bar is such a plough off road, I am sorely tempted. Are the TT bars still available again?

On the subject of ground clearance, I notice that the spare wheel cover projects lower than the steel plate axley bits in front of it which means it likely to get ripped off at the first bit of cross country. Is that normal? (oops I guess that's a bit of a thread hijack, sorry)

Very Likely - whoever told you it was an off road vehicle? Laughing

Price I paid was £188 delivered from JustTow (see above) who might have some stock still in (if you're lucky !! ). I'd get in quick Thumbs Up

I personally think it was a bargain at that price, and now seems one never to be repeated Big Cry ('official' price was £400 + the evil)

That's very neat! It looks quite a tight fit around the spare wheel, I wonder if it will fit with the MY2016 ad blue inverted spare wheel and wheel cover?
At that price I've ordered one up and I'll make it fit! Thumbs Up

Jester, is that the medium sized adjustable height fitting you have there? (Just tow only has small and medium)

Yes it does, usual fiddle with chassis inserts but fits just the same. Wheel cover comes over by about 10mm in 2 places, prompted me to fit SWMBO's RLD protector.

Great stuff.
Things shaping up for my new motor: just ordered the towtrust towbar and adjustable plate. When Ray gets back from touring the UK there'll be his spare protector, and sump guard to come too.
