JimmyTee Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Hi, just bought a towbar off e-bay, (Land Rover part no. STC 7996). It's the type with the detachable swan neck but I didn't get the key with it. Does anyboby know where I can get one? Also I don't have any fitting instructions with it; do I have to remove the bumper to fit it as I can't remove the swan neck. Does the grey centre panel need to be off with the swan neck fitted?.

Ryan Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I would have to say a dealer for the key. They may also be able to help out with instructions, though they may be on Microcat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJF Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm fairly sure that the fitting instructions are in the RAVE manuals (see the Technical Archive). What grey centre panel? I think I have this tow bar on my Freelander (2001), and the swan neck pops out underneath the bumper. It attaches using three bolts each side into each "chassis" rail and two bolts upwards into spreader plates. The bumper doesn't have to be removed, but the rear towing eye needs to be loosened as it shares three of the fixings. Not sure about the 2004 onwards bumpers. Keys are probably dealer only. Rob.

rovernut Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Land Rover won't have manufactured the towbar. It is most likely a Dixon Bate, Westfalia or Brink. Most of the bigger towbar specialists should be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
