Thread: Is it just me?

Yes it is off centre. Was told the reason why but cannot remember why.

Garry

im guessing its the same reason caravanners have a tow hook mounted off centre on the front of thier tow vehicle, with the trailer (or gun in a 101's case) hooked up to the front, you can push the trailer into the desired position and be able to look down the side of it

On a 101 the pintle is only about 2" from the centre and on the drivers side not the passenger side like most front mount tow/push points.

Garry

would it be cause the crank handle can line up with the motor correctly ?

You mean people could crank start these things!!

You sure can - last year we had four 101s lined up and Ron started them all first go with his crank. Easy Peasy.

I was there and was gobsmacked that he was able to do it.

Previously I thought the crank was there only for show (remember the crank handle was removed from the Phase II RRc and never appeared on the Discovery or Defender models)!
