    The handbook says:

    WARNING
    To preserve vehicle handling and stability, only fit towing accessories that have been designed and approved by Land Rover.

    DO NOT use lashing eyes or vehicle recovery towing eyes to tow a trailer. Use of the towing eyes for purposes other than their designed intention could result in damage or injury.

    Caution: An equalising or other form of weight distributing hitch should NOT be used with your vehicle.




    So from this you cannot fit none LR approved aftermarket tow equipment.


    Technically a Mitch Hitch cannot be used as it partially relies on the rear recovery tow eyes.


    On the aspect of WDH - LR are only saying it should not (not MUST NOT) be used - as an advisory only.


    TerryOs advice would seem to be one the money.

    From oxford dictionary
    Should:
    Used to indicate obligation, duty, or correctness, typically when criticizing someone’s actions:

    Oxford dictionary uses should to define must and under shall & will states that the current English use of the two words are interchangeable.
    So I doubt that the must vs should argument holds much weight.

    What does the Official Dictionary of Australia say, ie the Macquarie Dictionary. It is now the dictionary used in legal circles so in the case of a legal claim it is the definitions in the Macquarie Dictionary that apply not some old pommie book.

    Hi Hobbo 3429,
    Very sound advice from TerryO re the transmission, make sure you go the steel pan conversion as well. Oil I will leave up to you, many and varied suggestions here, for me unless you are going to do a complete flush I would stick with the LG 6, my opinion before any one bites my head off..............
