Would that remain valid if it was attached via an adaptor arm to a square hitch receiver or does that not matter?Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

Really daft question coming.......
What does this actually mean? Approval to use a NATO hitch on the Disco?

Sort of,
So my layman understanding is that;
As the Discovery is a Passenger Vehicle all Towing equipment fitted to the car must be 'Type approved' by law otherwise technically you are breaking the law, not insured, enemy of the state etc.
Now the hitch was always the big sticking point as if that isn't 'Approved' it was game over.
The next bit is how it's attached. Fixed to a appropriate towbar with an 'approved' adapter plate you may be in for a chance of total legality.
The trailer doesn't count as it was manufactured before 2012
That's my basic understanding. I'm sure somebody with more knowledge will wade in.
Well done - that is something that is very reassuring to have to hand.A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.
