4 bike rack for Disco
 

Does anyone recognise this bike rack and can tell me the maker?

I bought it years ago for my Disco TDi300 and I have a horrid feeling
the bit that stays on the vehicle went with the disco when I sold it.
I now want to fit it on my TD5 disco so need a new 'fixed bit'. I
think it is a relatively simple plate that goes behind the towing
bracket, with a square peg sticking out for the bit in the photos to
slip on and be locked, but the square peg had a funny crank in it so
that the tow ball or eye can still be used. I'd make one up but all my
welding and cutting kit is packed ready for a house move.

Sorry Andrew

It's been a long day (early start). Couldn't think why your name was
familiar :-(

How did you get on with Quadratech.

Richard,

I ended up using Marc Draper in Westerham, and he collected and
returned the disco for the clutch change. £380 using genuine parts as
opposed to Landrover main dealer quoting £1100 ! Jobs done and we're
mobile again.

Interesting

Is Marc Draper an RR specialist? Would you use him again etc?

Real address is rjs AT nildram DOT co DOT uk
