Can I put a winch bumper on Disco 2

(1/2) > >>

Landyman:
I'm looking to fit a winch bumper on the front of my X Reg TD5 Disco 2 after it had a front end smash.
But Ive just seen some thing in a write up about it having to be compatible with the air bag sensors  :-k
Now I've always had Defenders and obviously this has never been an issue. Can anyone tell me if there's any issues that I need to consider
before I rush out and buy one of these bumpers.
one other thing is the SRS light is showing on the dash had this on a Freelander a while back. A common fault. Is it the same issue on these Disco's?  :doh:



thanks in advance for any help

I get the SRS light coming on now & again & just hit the steering wheel & dash air bag once the ignition has been turn off for a bit :lol:TBH I think it's the coupling behind the steering wheel as mine no seems to click a bit when turning the wheel :doh:

Landyman:
That makes interesting reading but seems to be more about late model 300 TDIs. :-k
I'm going to have a look at mine in daylight tommorrow to see if I can see any sensors.

i looked into this when i brought a second hand bumper, just to check difference between airbag and non airbag bumpers.

Basically the ones for models with airbags have a crumple zone built into the mounting to enable the sensors to activate. I fitted non airbag to mine, but it is a 95 300, and who knows if they work on it anyway, and since buying the srs light is on anyway.  :doh:
