I really don't think your experience with bull bars is representative of the experience of most defender owners especially if your truck was registered after 2007.

Thats really interesting. Thanks for posting. No caveat about TUV or 'e' marked etc compliance?
I don't see why there would need to be any specific caveats since on a 2020 vehicle everything must be type approved. It would be interesting to see what happened in the event of a claim if the bull bars were found not to be type approved.
There will be a general insurance requirement that the vehicle must be legal and roadworthy, and a non-type-approved bull bar would void that not because it is a bull bar but because it isn't type approved. If the non-TA bar was in any way contributory to the claim I would expect there to be issues of the undesirable kind.
Please note that I am not suggesting that Mr Drumstick's bar isn't type approved, I am talking in general terms.
