Do yourself a favor take the Standard hitch and throw it as far as you can and fit one of these.

They do fit the Discovery 4

Yes, the knob goes in when locked; to unlock, pull out and turn (doesn't turn unless you pull out, as I found after using it for the first time).

Should be easy getting a new pin (I assume that's what you mean) for the receiver to lock the hitch in; they are inexpensive.

.....deleted comment....not relevant

Thanks I played with the mechanism on the garage floor for a while to figure it out. A replacement pin for the tongue starts from $10 from local auto parts store.

had a similar issue about a couple of weeks ago...the green handle will turn both in locked and unlocked position when pulled outwards, however, when in locked position, the handle will not release the latch all the way, it will only go to a certain point. Thats how it is in the D3.
