Disco 1 tow bar - can it go ????

(1/3) > >>

davidjmiller:
Can I get rid of the tow bar on my disco 1 to stop it dragging??? Of course, I would still need recovery points - what's the best way?????

Thanks,

David

p.s. i don't tow and don't intend to !!!

Disco_Stu:
Yes, remove it. Pretty straight forward, 2 nuts are tricky to reach up inside the rear bumper but not too hard if you take your time. Did mine in 20 mins, that included fitting the JATE rings I bought on eblag as recovery points. Plenty of penetrating oil on towbar bolts is a good thing...

I have removed mine, replaced it with a 10mm thick plated, which has 3 holes in it
2 are used to bolted it to the rear cross member, where the tow bracket was bolted and the other hole is about 30mm, to fit a shackle to
