Stupid question

So jermec was, like

Don't know the official name, but I've heard them referred to as rear grab handles. I reckon their precise name and function are lost in the mists of LR history, but they are useful for all sorts.

It's what yer towbar's for. My Lab can pull me (17st) up hill and down dale, but when I loop his lead over the towbar he can't shift the Rangie more than a couple of feet :-)

You mean NTC 5116 (black) or 300816 ( I assume galvanised) Richard

Towbar, what towbar?! We bought this Landy new, but were sad to find no towbar when we picked it up. Fussing didn't help. One is on the want list, but we thought one of these handles might be a cheaper and quicker option.

Sorry? Bit dim. Don't understand. :-)

In the words of Alan Partridge, "Aha". That makes sense. Thanks. Regarding Max the monster Lab (aka puppy of mass destruction), I'll have to untie him before we drive off. He would make a very effective ground anchor.

Tow bars aren't standard equipment. You need to specify one when ordering.

Land Rover part numbers.

Do please remember to untie the dog before driving off.

Cheers,

it is a grab handle, most common type in the uk is NTC5116 (same for left and right).

Regards. Mark.

Indeed - and 300816 superceeds to NTC5116 (3.22 inc VAT here). The "galvanised" version was, I think, a pattern part and I've not seen any for a while.

It was a showroom "misbuild" model, about to be returned to Solihull because nobody wanted it. Perfect for us, though. I was too quick when saying I'd buy it to check for things like towbars and the like. I was cheeky on delivery day, but got nowhere. Should've checked really, but I was too excited. Small kid in sweet shop syndrome. "I want it now" scenario.
