Hello there...I am wanting to buy a detachable tow bar for a Disco 3 but am looking on eBay as I am rocking a budget! I know this probably sounds embarrassingly naive but would one for a Disco 3/4 fit any model of Disco 3? I drive a completely different car and don't have a need to tow anything so any advice much much appreciated. Thank you!

e-mail the seller, use the "contact seller" option, its not the most obvious thing but it is handy. This has the added benfit that these messages are archived by e-bay, if the seller says it fits and you get it and it doesn't you just hit "return item", upload a pic of it not fitting and ref the e-mail, you'll get a full refund.

A lot of parts suppliers ask for the reg number to verify the part will fit, have a look for such a vender.

d3 and 4 detachable are the same part, some have extra support brackets, none cheap which is why they get nicked!
Doubt you will get one for under 100 quid.

I wish the people who buy me gifts would get me something practical like that, Ive got more bottles of after shave than Boots.

I sold my good condition D3 detachable tow hook over £200, that was in 2016.

Thank you everyone! I am budgeting £200 for a second hand one so fingers crossed but very grateful for all the tips and guidance! x

Ha ha!! I'm pleased to think it will be well received but the horror of it being the wrong one led me here - you're all very kind to respond - thank you!

Are you sure they do not already have one?
It is normally tucked in the passengers side rear lower cubby box.

He definitely doesn't have one - he is a hardcore fan of LR and he has commented a few times about wanting one so I thought I'd beat him to it - not my idea of a to gift but it takes all sorts. (((((((-:

But then how many pairs of boots do you need?

Nah, I don't have a beard but I stopped using aftershave when I stopped chasing birds, it never did any good anyway, I think they sensed I was a potential landy owner.

If you check when he’s out if there one in the boot you just wrap it up - merry Xmas darling?
200 notes is worth a look. If he catches you you forgot your purse or something.
