Hi everyone.

First post. Had LR's for years starting with a Ninety TD, followed by a succession of Disco 300TDI, Disco 2 TD5.and then a Disco 3 TDV6.

Just taken the plunge for a 59 plate RR vogue TDV8 and I love it. What a beast. I thought the Disco 3 was good to drive, but this is a whole other level.

Over the first few days thought the drivetrain was quite "lumpy" at slow speeds....especially on the overrun. It stopped if popped into neutral. Had a megaflush on the box and all seems good again

Next job is to put a tow bar and electrics on.

Have the genuine 13 pin electrics and, following the instructions, they tell me to plug them in to a connector in the spare wheelwell.

Of course, nothing is ever simple for me. I don't seem to have a connector to plug into.

Am I looking in the wrong place? Is it hidden somewhere to pull out?do I need some sort of ecu/loom? Multiple searches seem to just tell me that the facelifted models don't need anything else apart from the exterior kit.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Im new to L322's as well, I've just redone all of my towing electrics, the plug on mine is towards the nearside of the spare wheel well clipped to the vertical re panel.

Thanks. I certainly can't see mine. I'll have to have another look tomorrow. Deffo starting to think I don't have one though.

Why does it always happen to me?

Hurumph.

Maybe the towbar module isnt installed?

This is how mine looked!

AJGalaxy is that heat damage to your plug? (Aside of the mud) And heat damage to the cable? Or chaffing?
Looks weird..

So, now I know where the plug is, I was wondering if there was such a plug, I thought there would be as range rovers and horse floats seem to go together
So, my question is, dose the plug have the wiring for electric brakes RR 2005 4.4 petrol

Mechanical over run brakes. As the vehicle slows down, the coupling compresses and that applies the brakes. BMW i3 Electric Car

Most are cable - there’s is a requirement for the trailer to have a cable or rod handbrake, so it’s easier to use the same cable for the main brake.

I have an American boat trailer with hydraulic brakes and that seems a much better system, albeit I have no handbrake
