Tech info required for A bar FPS
I have gone for it, won a BRAND NEW A-BAR off ebay, bidding started at £65 or buy it now £99. Was assured it is all in the box, unopened.
However, I need to arrange carriage from Aberdeenshire, can anybody supply me with the dimensions, erm like going out and measuring theirs, and approx weight.........
Please help, quite urgent really cos the seller needs to know when courier is coming.

Many thanks, have emailed ENDURA, who make them and was waiting for reply. Thanks guys, swift speedy answers.
Just got to find someone to fit it now , spoken to ALL TERRAIN vehicles in Bexhill on Sea, he used to work on my TD5, a LR mechanic who got fed up with bad PR through his dealership and decided to set up business. Nice guy but never fitted one before so wants to see the instructions before quoting price
Thanks again boys.

As a time guide, I'd never fitted one before but using LR instructions and DiscoWex's handy hints and photos from this website, I took 2.5 hours - start to finish.

One other question what do I do (if I fit myself) with the Front Parking sensors. Mine is a HSE so are colour coded, but I guess with the OEM A Bar two are obstructed by the bar. Are they relocated or just disconnected?
Yikes, cant wait to get it done then I dont have to keep troubling you all

They re-locate in the A bar. There is a fitting kit and the instructions explain it all.
Good luck.

Does anybody know the part number for the fitting kit on the relocation of parking sensors, or is that in the box (in transit to me) with the A Bar. I just want to make sure I can get on with it without delay or hickups. Also, the part number for the wheelarch clips, as I just know I will break some.
