Hello, yes it is a bit of a !! I didn't manage to get the panel all the way off but enough to mount the box of tricks and tighten the screws up. As long as you haven't got fat fingers you will be alright!!

Hi s18mcn

Did you pull it from the bottom or top? It looks like i will have to remove the cargo barrier and parcel shelf to get it done

But thanks for coming back

How much was you charged for having the computer reset, for the Parking Sensor Auto-disconnect. If you dont mind me asking.

I got this quote from a local towbar fitter. What do you think.

The correct price that I should have quoted is actually £578,Witter Quantum removable towbar with an after market specialist electrical installation which will activate exactly the same features as the Landrover OE kit. I can use the Landrover kit, it costs £237, I will fit it for the difference between that price and my own kit's price which is £110, giving a total of £688.

The only problem i have with this van, is that i have been told by the local dealer, that for now Swift may not be making this type of van

To remove the left hand panel, I took off the rubber weather /sealing strip, the undid the plastic hook shown in the photo. I then carefull prised the panel away where it meants the tailgate opening enough to undo the earth nut and attach the earth wire. I was able to free the other connectors and once connected push them back behind the panel from underneath. That way, I didn't have to take off the whole side panel.  Freelander 2.2e HSE , Privacy, Fully debadged, 19" Chrome SHadow alloys
