2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Commercial XS Auto Corris Grey

You have the detachable version of the TL1 (very smart) the TL1 HKF, whereas mine is the fixed, which I prefer as I tow a 3.5 tonne trailer with it, so like it to be as secure as possible, and don’t have to take it off for any reason.

As for price second hand your guess is as good as mine. A new fixed one is around £220-£250 so I would imagine the detachable one would be slightly more. I’ve listed my brand new TL1 (only used once) on here for £170 but not had much interest whereas the LR detachable ones have been snapped up at £250... go figure..

I didn’t notice on your plate if it had a year of manufacturing but obviously the older it is the less it is worth.

I did find this pdf which may help when it comes to taking it apart but be very careful to take the spacers out that sit in the sub frame as these are hard to get and if left in will rattle about!

Actually ignore the bit about the spacers as your D3 is a 2005 it won’t have them (item k in the diagram)

I will check on the silver label manufacturing details maybe there tbh I just would like to know fair price for it 😉 I also have some plugs with it and some other bits. So do you think 220£ could be a good price just looking at the photos ?

Radek,

I think the bolt you are referring to is the long M14 bolt that runs through the chassis rail and then into a nut on the other side.. is that right ?

If so you need to keep those to go with the towbar to the new owner... otherwise if you can get a photo of what you are referring to that would be great !

Acoustic damping weights… helps keep vibrations in the rear seat space to minimum so passengers in the back two seats don’t get travel sick, just leave them, they are an absolute pain to get out and even harder to get back in. You can push them out the way to get a socket in there but otherwise just leave them. I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!
