Front 'tow' bar

Had one on the front of my DII. It was very useful for positioning the tin tent etc but, even with the removable ball, compromised the approach angle.
Grateful for thoughts from anyone who has fitted one to their D3 please.

There was TWO!! fitted to a D3 that was for sale recently, but it wasnt a forum car.

I think from memory it was used in a boat yard for shunting boats trailers around / Caravan yard.

2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Java BlackDiscovery 3

I saw one on Ebay about a month ago.

I think they had made a bracket underneath which bolted to the chassis than had a removable drawbar

Not sure if it ended or was won

Re: Front 'tow' bar

I too had one on my D2. The turning circle of the D3 is so much better though I find manouvering caravan is much easier and I dont need a push bar

Thanks all.
The one I had on the D2 came from Watlings, DG, but many thanks for the link.
Many thanks for the advice n1cktdv6. I'll drag the TT to the local Sainsbury's (other supermarkets are available!) off-road course and see how I get on.
