2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 S Manual Zambezi Silver

Tow Bar wiring & Anderson connector

Two quick questions:

Is fitting the LR 13pin electrics simply a matter of plugging into existing connections or is it something more complicated?

I want to fit an Anderson connector in the behind the removable rear panel and has anyone done this before and is there a straight foward way to route the two cables back to the battery?

Thanks

Andy

cables can be routed from the battery box through the wheel arch and then along the top and side of the chassis - really easy once you can get the car on ramps/stands and get underneath it Duncan

I have made up a bracket to mount the Anderson plug and now need to order some cable before making the connection.

Will try and get a few pictures.
