    You'd have the newer design that permits you to remove the spare without removing the tow bar - I have the original plough ... and my garage is short so I prefer to remove it so as not to get kneecapped !

    I like the one from South Africa (DISCOVERY 3)

    A bit unsure about legalities here so have not pursued it.

    Will see how I go.
    Definately need the taller hitch for my camper trailer(its almost complete),Needs a no drop hitch on the D2.
    That standard one looks ok for the garden trailer.
    Thanks guys.

    I also use the Mitchell bros hitch, if you plan to tow any off-road type of camper trailer which uses a Treg hitch or similar then you will want the MB hitch as it levels the camper trailer out better, I utilize this setup for towing my Kimberley Kamper.

    Our '14 Discovery came with the electrical connections fitted and the LR hitch is stored in the back of the car.

    For my use, the LR hutch was good enough, although I can see why others go for the Mitchell Bros.

    You will still need to buy a Hayman Reese or similar tongue though.

    For amusement, here's my well thought out original plough ... I've been content with this but the D4 version looks to be an improvement. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1406947339.430386.jpg

    The old plough was certainly an epic design failure!

    They don't Pedro. The tow hitches in the UK are a very different to the one we have. It's a one piece gooseneck design, compared to our separate receiver and hitch.

    I doubt that rig would manage the dip where my driveway enters the roadway.
    Be hung up for sure on the tow connection.
