--- Quote from: "Darren" ---As far as I can tell, their ad in the latest LRO only shows it on the back of a DI, for which type approval isn't necessary. It only applies to vehicles registered after 1st August 1998.

"3500 Kilo
DISCOVERY II QUICKLY DETACHABLE RECOVERY POINT

THE FIRST LAND ROVER DISCOVERY II TO BE FITTED WITH A QUICKLY DETACHABLE RECOVERY POINT COMPLETE WITH DROP PLATE!" This is off their website If it's not type approved it deliberatly misleading and therefore illegal advertisment..

Darren:
Possibly, I guess :?

The recovery point isn't illegal - the need for type approval only applies to towing equipment - and the drop plate would only be illegal if used on the road (as opposed to a farm, for example).

I have no idea if there's a legal requirement for adverts or websites to state whether something is legal for road use or not.
