Tow Ball electrics
Purchased and fitted the electrics and removable tow ball yesterday!
Just one question to those guys who have fitted the electrics themselves:
Did you actually get all of the white reataining plugs in their holes?
I couldn't even find the hole for the last one(nearest the light cluster), and the second to last one above the cast iron counter-weight didn't go in either.
Just wondered how you all faired?
Otherwise top marks to LR for instructions - which also familiarised me with the spare wheel removal proceedure.Some say the glass is half full. Others that it is half empty. I say 'Are you drinking that?"

Yes Andy the same here, could'nt find the last clip holes but all seemed ok with the install. Did you fit the stowage for the tow arm. HSE TDV6 Silver : "Avin it large"

I will hopefully have a go at fitting mine next week.
Makes you wonder if cars with factory / dealer installs have all the clips in place.

Hi Gazavich,
No, after reading D3matts review of the tow ball stowage - I think it's a bit of a luxury that is difficult to install.

Nah, I didn’t get all the wee clips in either.
I actually cut most of them off & used a few strategically placed cable ties instead
