when a towbar is fitted to a hst does the rear valance below the bumper need to be cut,also is there a jackplug in the boot area for the towbar wiring.
it will only be used to carry 2 mountain bikes so do i have to fit electrics"by law".

Some towbars need the bumper cut, some don't. My detachable witter does NOT need the bumper to be cut but the fixed LR does.

Is a reasonably cheap website for no LR Towbars. Click on More Info and it should tell you if a bumper cut is needed,

Best of luck,

There is a module to plug into but its behind the plastic panel to the left as you look forwards the front of the vehicle. I'd go for a genuine 13 pin LR electrics module if i were you

All pretty straight forward to fit on your driveway - even easier if you had a ramp.

LR may need to programme your ECU to tell it you have towing electrics installed.

thanks for the info ,when i find what i need i'll look on fleabay as i will only use 3-4 times a year
cheers

Electrics are pretty straight forward if you follow this link i fitted mine to use with a trailer board for a rear mount bike carrier.

2) Wiring 7 way smart bypass relay is again straightforward, as follows (all connections made using scotchlocks for convenience);

I picked up a secondhand 13 pin electrics (inc. module) off the 'bay for £70 delivered -plugged it in, paid £50 for LR to program something and it all worked

Happy days
