From what I've read in the past, it was the LWB.

I used the LWB one

I've just finished fitting a Colorado LWB bar to my 96 185, supplied by fityourowntowbars.co.uk.
Price was £ 79 plus £12 p and p, and included electrics, bumper protector and tow ball.
Service was excellent too.
Beat that.

PS I've had my Surf 2 days, after owning a 92 Range Rover - I'm not disappointed!

PPS In 4WD should the multimode display flash coninuously?

.....PPS In 4WD should the multimode display flash coninuously?

The 4wd indicator will flash when it is not properly engaged / disengaged. Will light steadily when properly engaged.

If permenantly flashing could indicate a problem with the transmission in either the transfer box or the ADD system

flashes until properly engaged, sometimes takes a few seconds... lift off the power and it'll drop in.

Thanks for the comments.
I suspected a split vacuum pipe for the ADD, took it backto dealers and was proved right!
Now I've got to source a wrap round bull bar, I suspect the Colorado will fit, its only 1 inch wider at the indicators, but does anyone know?

[da SLUG man]

damn!... do you all have rear mounted spares or gazunda's??

cos mines gazunda... does this make a difference??

(quick reply please i'm in the middle of ordering!!!)

cheers dudes!!

[adrianrdaw]

Mines a gazunder (not heard it called this before, but
I'm a newbie!!) and it was the easiest fit I've ever done.
There's approx 1-1/2 " clearance between the bar and the tyre, should be OK with any standard rubber.
