Rear towing electrical cover

Hi all,

On my Dec 2012 HSE, the towing electricals cover at the rear is secured by two "twist lock tee pins" each of which locate into a white "socket". One of these white "sockets" is missing, and I wish to obtain a replacement.
Is anyone on here able to give me the part number, or it's official name, so I can purchase a replacement. Is this a universally obtainable part, or is it Land Rover only?

Thanks in advance, Richard

You might be interested in replacing the "flat head screwdriver" pins with these? Made my life loads easier as I do a fair bit of towing.

Or keep a 50p in one of the rear trays - works well for me!

totally agree, they make it so much easier to remove and fit the cover.

Theres also a mod on here for using half a penny washer glued into the screw, which is what I have done and it works a treat. Cheaper than 50p too Rolling with laughter

Well now I feel like I've been shafted spending £8 on some clips!

In all seriousness, they have made my life easier and my Mrs can't put them in the self-service tills which is what happens to all the change left in my LR....

To be fair, if youre buying the inserts anyway, then teh £8 isnt as bad. I recently bought a set of generic trim clips and it came with some of the white "inserts" as well as loads of others, but not the cover screws.

As recommended by Gstuart, sorry I beat you to it Gary! Ill check tonight to make sure that my set came with the right size inserts, but there was a very good selection of various clips etc, very handy.

Found this site (https://www.vehicleclips.co.uk) for various Discovery clips when undersealing earlier in lockdown, they have the clip and retainer for the towing cover plus lots of other useful ones.
