Again where does the RTA or the police say its illegal to tow over 1000 kg off road with a Disco?

Don't know, as I said, only seen both in the owners manual, I have been ignoring it since we've had our camper anyway

In England they have a 4000kg limit?? if you have the Land Rover heavy duty tow pack, which I believe is what we get here?? just hasn't been converted to the Aust wiring pattern(large black and white plugs) instead LRA just add a 7 pin plug for our market.

But that's for another day.

One thing I do know for sure, LR Assist and VW Assist, take there definition of offroad from the local towing agent they use, with both saying that if it's in a National Park, that's what they deem as offroad(that was quoted to us by both)
