Discovery 3 Rated Recovery Point Pair

Rated Recovery Point Pair for the Discovery 3: a pair of rated recovery points that bolt to the chassis.

Recovery equipment is the most important safety equipment an off road vehicle carries. Everything here is rated, marked with its working load limit and minimum breaking strength, and sold with the advice to use rated recovery points only, never a tow ball. The Discovery 3 was the first on the integrated body frame and the first with full air suspension as standard, which is where most of its bills come from.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 1 hour. Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure.

Which version to buy

Standard is the standard specification, which is what most vehicles need and what we would quote unless you told us otherwise. There is one specification of this, because it is the one we would fit to our own vehicles and a cheaper version would not be doing you a favour.
