Discovery 4 DIY tow bar + electrics

Hi Applause.

I got my hitch and genuine wiring from pf Jones, fitted myself just plugs in. Then got car programmed by local garage £25.

its a Euro 6 model ,and towed many thousands of miles and fridge and battery charges , unlike many other Euro 6 cars.

JLR main dealer down here says either let us do it in the first place, or bring it here where someone else gets it wrong. 

I have owned the Discovery 4 which had the detachable tow bar which Landrover recommends you should remove when not towing as grit can get into the mechanism causing wear over a long period. The tow hitch is quite heavy requiring getting down onto the ground to lock it into place. Although LR can fit an excellent electric deployable tow hitch it is expensive and the best option is to fit a fixed tow hitch either theirs or an independent,  which also gives some protection from other cars in car parks.
