LR heavy duty tow bar. It replaces the slot-in tow bar which LR call an "occasional" device (once they started falling out in use, of course).Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Looks like the words on the bonnet say it all , “ evolved “
Plus needs to be a NHS vehicle to pick everyone up after the shock
At first sight, I expected a 'Kahn' badge but the 'raspberry and lime' look is their corporate image: their recovery vehicles are in the same scheme.

The car looks great - but what is it with that tow bar hanging out the back - what a monstrosity.
Its a heavy duty towbar. I've had one on my D3 and D4 for the last 15 years with a Dixon Bate adjustable hitch. Great bit of kit . It also keeps other drivers at bay. New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)

Al,
It’s a garage in Yeovil opposite the Volvo dealership- rebook your next service there and have a tyre-kick while you wait?Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
Watching some IPL with an IPA or two and giving the dog a scratch on a lazy Sunday afternoon; how’s you and the Moreton crew?Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
All is peachy ta, just been for a wander around Winfrith Heath with our two furred avengers. About to get on the InterZooms with No1 up in Reading to throw around some ideas on her dissertation.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Volvo dealer..... Volvo dealer..... ah yes! I remember! We see them once a year for a service!
Not like the relationship you get with a Land Rover dealer
It's generally only an issue if you use a LR dealer. or Indies often see less of their customers because they do it right first time most time. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

That tow bar is disgusting - our slot-in tow bars which are rated 350kg ball weight and 3500kg are not for occasional use and work well if maintained - even though ours is similar to yours we never had recalls. We have nicer aftermarket bars as well.
