What did you turn over?

The tongue doesn't fit in the receiver pictured either way.

I'm sure when I get the correct receiver it will fit.

There is a diagram that came with the tongue to show which way up it goes.
To be honest, I can't see that it matters though.

Opposite to the to way it is shown in the photo.

Understood.

That won't work with this combination though, if I turn the tongue over the ball hits the upper part of the receiver.

Right.

You have to snap it in place; the first time I didn't, and it fell out, but since snapping it into place, have done many tracks with no problems.

I had a look in that spot today. Mine's got what looks like a big fan in there so I can't put the tongue and ball into that spot .

What model do you have? I've got an HSE with rear aircon so I suspect the "fan" is for that.

Correct

Mine's just the base model 2.7 TdV6 - no fan in there.

Not sure if you'd fit it in the other side - I carry tie-downs / ratchet straps etc in there. But from memory, there's not as much room in that side, probably because of room already taken by the jack and also the fuel filler.
