Will this fit a 300series Disco ?

It will do if it's a Series 2 like it says. 300 was the engine type not the
bodyshell type


 
I thought the series 2 were the TD5 type? is the front end the same?
I want one of these and the cheapest I can find new is from rebel 4X4 at
£185

Hmmm, maybe, but probably not I'd venture.

Series 2 front end is different to the 300 series. The main question
is the width of the chassis rails - not sure if this was different
between the 300 and Series 2 Discoveries.

The other question is how far forward the bumper protrudes. I don't
recall ever seeing a bar that was advertised to fit both vehicles.

The 300-type and 200-type (i.e. disco I) are interchangeable, the bar fits
on the bumper mounts. However, to be sure of a Disco II one fitting you'd
need to find one with an A-bar or bullbar and crawl under the front and
look/measure.

 


That's superb ! www.mm-4x4.com have a purposeful looking a bar for £130.

The Series II Discoverey is completely different to the
300Tdi (exept the gearbox) - very littlewould swap over without
modification/major work.

The only differences between the 200 and 300's are the plastic bits that
attach to the bumper itself. If you're prepared to cut the front skirt
(which is considerably bigger on the 300) then the 200 bar should fit. I
did this with my 300Tdi to mount a bull bar from a 200.

The chassis rails and mounting holes are exactly the same - they use the
same chassis :)

If it saves me £150 what do I cut it with - angle grinder or jigsaw ?

Thanks.

similarly, my 200 type has a bullbar originally off a 300 type, on the bar
itself, a genuine LR one, no less, it says "Range Rover".

So I don't see why it won't fit, unless they use very non-standard fittings.
Standard fittings appear to be plain 6mm plate or thereabouts.
 
It's only plastic! No need to get the angle grinder out - I used a
junior hacksaw and a stanley knife to finish off the edges.

No. Stick it on a website somewhere.
