I have a Disco 4 MY 13 HSE want to hook up my tandem caravan using
the tow assist.
I have the triangle sticker LR part No. LR 021589. Have watched the procedure to be taken on You tube but I have a question.
Is the sticker to be put on the front of the caravan and left there whilst towing.
OR
Could I use some magnetic type sheeting, attach the sticker and then
I would be able to put the sticker of and on the caravan when I need to.


Thankyou in advance

It assists you when connecting up to the tow ball when you have the surround camera package i believe.

Also helps with reversing the trailer.

Kev, I don't think it matters as long as:

• if stays on the van, it does not get damaged(stones weathering etc)
• if it is removable, that it always goes back on the yellow zone and is not going to fall off

here's the vid for the curious:

Hi Guys
Thanks for the replies
Sean very kind of you to put up video for anyone to look at.
It is used with the surround camera system.
I was going to try to use it but I did not want to put the sticker
on and have to rip it off and have to go always back to southport
and pay another $12 for another sticker.
Anyway thanks again for the info.

Put sticker on van...

Buy (or use one off the fridge) a magnet and stick over it to protect from stones when travelling

Do we have tow assist on the MY14 with reverse camera only????
Seem to recal it being mentioned at delivery.BUT I was like a kid in a lollyshop that day,never owned a new car in my life,never mind a $80000 Land Rover!!!!

Hi Landy Andy As I have the MY 13 SDV6 HSE which come with the cameras
and the better sound system. I was reading the manual and found
the two assist option and decided after having a look at the you tube Instructional video on the tow assist to go and get the sticker (apparently the cheapest spare part LR have) and give it a go. Anyway the short story The way I wanted to do it was the stick the sticker which is 18cm x 18cm onto a piece of Magnetic sheeting. Found this afternoon this will not work.
So we will be trying it by placing the sticker directly onto the front of the caravan which I did not want to do
