    will bullbar be ok on 300tdi discovery with airbags?

    It'll make no difference, the air bag is for internal passengers, the roo bar is to clear kangaroo's from the road at night so that the vehicle is not disabled in the outback. so if safety is your main issue fit the air bags on the roo bar so that you don't mangle pedestrians
