Afternoon all. I've done a search on the forum but can't find an answer.
I've just fitting a towbar and electrics to the wife's 07 Freelander. Both second hand but genuine LR items. Got my local indi to plug his laptop in and tell the ecu a towbar was fitted but now the parking sensors don't work. This is with and without a trailer connected. The trailer lights don't work either...
The only clue anything was wrong was the electric kit came with a bracket to fit 09 model year onward. Does anyone know if it's only the bracket that changes or have I bought the wrong towing electrics kit?
Any advice much appriciated as I'll get in trouble from the wife if I don't sort it soon!
Cheers,

Have you added the extra fuses in the rear electrics fuse box that is under the loadspace floor?
.
I've probay got the Landrover instruction pages if you need them.

Kind regards from Fred

Will check the fuses tomorrow.
Got the instructions from Topix which was rather handy. Thanks anyway.

Hi, first time post long time reader:-)
I have the following fixed tow bar LR007479 but the electric brackets have started to corrode (the electrics are all good) so require replacing. I require both left & right hand side brackets. LR have said that I require the whole electrics kit VPLFT0017 to obtain the brackets required £100. Surely, someone out there may have done a DIY on alternative brackets so would like to hear what was done to replace the corroded brackets.
