A few days ago I noticed that the removable tow hitch had been taken off the Accessories section of the Discovery information on the Land Rover web site. Now the Cross Bars have gone as well. Come to think of it - Side Steps? Mudflaps? also no longer shown.
Is this an indication that LR are starting to move out of selling their own accessories? No so long ago the Accessory Brochure was bigger than the Model Brochure.A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill.

I don't think I've ever seen the swan neck tow ball on there, but the cross bars are still on there - search in Document Title for Crossbars. Side steps are under Side Step, and the mud flaps under Mudflaps06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!
The swan neck still shows in the photos of the electrics, but does not get its own mention.A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

I read "information" as being the Owner Info site, not the D4 pages of the main LR site, sorry!06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Thanks. Never knew about that owner information site. What others are there?
The swan neck isn't on that site as the instructions for it are in the Owner's Handbook.

Fuel tank capacity is in my handbook
And the LR website accessory pages have always been a 'light' versions of the actual catalog you can get in the dealers.
I know there is a lot of information on capacity, specification, etc in the handbook, but it is spread all over the place. It used to be common for there to be a table giving all that stuff on one page. At least there is a list of all the fuses.A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill.

It's in the 2006MY handbook (pg 271) but I can't see it in the 07 or 08 books 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Well spotted then, Simon. My book only goes up to page 329, which is "Volume" to "Wiper" at the end of the index.
Maybe they supplied me with the blonde version? [ducks]A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Depends on the source you have to look at.
Either way, by reading the manual I can inform you the capacity is approx 82 litres for diesel engines
Thanks Simon. Wonder why they want to keep it from the 07 owners though.A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.
