Towbar and wiring

[Landy86]

Hi guys
I'm taking the towbar off my old 300 tdi and mounting it on the new 130

My question is do you just wire the trailer plug up to the tail light loom or is there a loom you are ment to buy?

Cheers

Landy86,

There is a female plug behind the right rear tail light of 110' and 90's that accepts the loom that Land Rover sells.

Not sure of 130's with trays and things, but I've seen them wired directly with no issues as well.

Cheers,

Lou

FYI: IF you need electric brakes my dealer wrote in reply to a question from me about my new MY15 110:
"You do not need any fancy ECU’s or ECM’s to wire your brake unit into your Defender.
You can pick-up the feed wires in the r/h/r ¼ panel area, above the tail-light and wire into the Teckonsha brake unit in the front of the vehicle. Very simple and basic.
We can fit it for you if you wish. We would charge approx. $150.00 + any wires, terminals etc."
