Thread: Is the removable tow hitch on Disco 3 too dangerous? what replacements are there?

I drove my D3 the few hundred metres round to the workshop with a travel mug of tea sitting on the bullbar recently.

When I cleaned the MAF sensor recently the can of cleaner made it 2 km down the road. I then turned a corner.

I cleaned the filter on the heater in our bedroom a few weeks ago, then put it down somewhere and couldn't find it again. About a week later I was walking back to the D4 at the shops, and spotted it sitting on the bull bar in front of the grille. Decided to not push my luck and put it in the car. It spent probably 6 or 7 days on the bull bar, driving probably a couple hundred kms in that time.

Filtering out the bugs for the radiator. You may be able to market this with ARB....

After seeing someone else's on here done the same way, I modified the back cover to sit around the Mitch Hitch.

Looks a lot neater now, I only have to remove the right side when towing to access trailer and Anderson plugs.

Is anyone else's reverse sensors constantly beeping with their Mitch Hitch fitted ❓

It's obviously picking up the Hitch without the towball insert fitted.

Some half round bits of plastic and some super glue work a treat. Some used floor pads from a hardware store. I cut up an ice cream container lid.

i read somewhere the sensors can be turned around,but can't fully remember.

Someone with a better memory may chime in,or maybe the Mitch hitch guys will know.
