With pins & chains plus full rotation! Been there, done that! 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

I tow with an Oris bolt on flange swan neck. Had it on my Disco 2 some years ago.
Never had a problem with it. Gives more distance from the bumper, when backing up, to hook up.

3.2 with LPG too! Looks the business! Huge roof box (or tent?) 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

the blue/white box is a Maggiolina sleeping pod, which I used last year. Now sold.

this year I have a Bundutec, from SA.




its electric driven and is a whole lot bigger inside.

Looks like the worlds biggest cool box on the roof. Common sense isn't very common.

As a complete novice to towing, why should you not apply grease?

if you have a metal tow ball and an ALL metal coupling .......... it needs greasing to prevent wear. This is a non-stabilizing coupling.

if you have a metal tow ball and a pad based friction stabilizing coupling .......... it needs to be clear of any grease/oil. Liken it to your brakes.

Thanks, I understand.

Hi all
Thought I'd update this with some pictures of the outfit from yesterday - took the van down west a short way for relatives and will be back to pick it up in a few weeks.







The Freelander towed without issue as you might expect
