There are a few places advertising at the old price but as soon as you try and order its "oh we havent got any stock" or " sorry thats the wrong price, thats for bearmach" Censored

Duckworths cheapest so far but still £190, I'm not paying that out of principle when the D4 loom is only £105

May just add a 12S socket as there is an extension kit to the 12N loom for £45 Neutral

pre tapped, so hope your come out clean, as I managed to snap one of the pins when removing from my old D4. Spray some WD40 round the back first.

Will it not fit the same way round but on the opposite side so the flap goes the right way?

Wales 

This was also a job I tackled this weekend... Whoever owned my D3 before me had a 13pin with the 12s wiring and another 7 pin for the lights Series 3

I took a gamble on using a none landrover kit from pf jones at £72 made by right connections https://www.pfjones.co.uk/land-rover-land-...501rc.html
all works as it should - cut of for reversing sensors, disabled rising of suspension on off road auto selection and the indicator of a trailer on the dash when indicating Laughing

It took me longer to identify the setup the previous owner had fitted, and the spacer allowed me to turn the connection 90 degrees....

My Britpart kit (which is just Right Connections loom in another box) has a spacer to flip the plug orientation 180 deg

I imagine it hasn't got the spacer amd hence the hinge is on the wrong side Confused
