United Kingdom 1995 Defender 90 300 Tdi HT Barolo Black
1995 300Tdi Towbar
After a good try with the search system I’ve been unable to find a topic.

I’m looking to fit a towbar to my 300tdi 90.

I can’t find a kit/don’t really know what I’m looking for.

My guess is a Dixon Bate kit won’t fit as they are for later defenders.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Dixon Bate will fit fine so long as you get the correct one. Pre-1998 they’re the same between 90 and 110. After that date they are different because of the 90 rear tank cradles.

This should fit your 90 assuming chassis etc is all standard:

I’m really struggling to find a kit suitable. There probably aren’t that many new/used kits out there anymore. Probably been out of production for the best part of 20 years.

Any suggestions?

What’s wrong with the one linked above?

They’re still easily available both new and second hand.

Thanks.

Bit of thread drift but does anybody know of a fixed setup for a Tdi 90, or if anybody has modified a TD5 onwards setup to fit? The current Dixon Bate on mine has more wear in the pins and bores than I'm comfortable. I'm wondering if the chassis to drop plate arms from the Tdi setup would neatly tie in to the fixed TD5 drop plate.

There was a factory fixed option pre-Td5 as well, which looked like this:
