Expert Answers about Land Rover Discovery II


  • Are The Batteries That Come With the Titan Disc Brake Kit and BrakeRite Actuator Really Needed
  • The Titan Disc Brake Kit and BrakeRite Electric-Hydraulic Actuator part # T4843800 comes with two breakaway batteries which are just small batteries responsible for applying the brakes on the trailer in the event it becomes detached from the tow vehicle and are required by law in most states. Therefore, yes you do need to install the breakaway batteries that come with the kit. Please note, the 6 volt batteries you have on the trailer serve an entirely different purpose and cannot be used...

  • 7-Way to 4-Pole Adapter Not Functioning When Installed on 2001 Land Rover Discovery II
  • I'd begin by testing the 7-way on the Land Rover. The trailer wiring FAQ I've linked you to will show you which pins on the 7-way will show voltage as each turn signal/brake lamp/ running lamp function is activated. Make sure the 7-way is wired as shown in the FAQ. Then, plug the adapter into the 7-way and test each function. If you don't have a circuit tester, we offer one as part # PTW2993. Usually when you have both turn signals operating at the same time, it indicates a ground problem....

  • Will Hopkins Adapter 7-Way Round Pin To 4-Way Flat # 47405 Fit a 2001 Land Rover Discovery II
  • The trailer wiring adapters are not vehicle specific. They are universal and will be matched by what type of connector is on the tow vehicle and what type of connector is on the trailer. The Hopkins Adapter 7-Way Round Pin To 4-Way Flat, part # 47405, is for a vehicle that has a 7-Way round pin connector and you are connecting to a trailer with a 4-Way flat connector. The 7-Way blade style connectors are more common than the 7-Way round pin connectors. I would check the 7-Way connector...

  • 7-Way/4-Pole Trailer Connector Installation-2004 Land Rover Discovery
  • For a 4-pole trailer connector, you'll need part # 119178KIT. The wiring harness/converter would wire directly into the circuits feeding your taillight assemblies. I've linked you to a video showing the wiring harness being installed on a 2006 Honda Element. The wire colors on your Land Rover would be different, but the testing to determine which wire carries which circuit and the procedure would be very similar for your vehicle. If you needed a 7-way trailer connector and your trailer...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Controller Installation in 2002 Land Rover Discovery II
  • You can easily test your Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller # 39510 by using a circuit tester such as # PTW2993. First you will want to test that the unit is properly receiving a brake signal from the vehicle. This input signal to the controller is carried on the red wire. Apply the circuit tester (the linked video shows how to use it) to the red wire and press the brake pedal. If you detect a signal on the red wire then you know the controller is receiving its brake signal from...

  • Replacement Key For Land Rover Hitch Mount Bike Rack
  • As far as I know, both Thule and Yakima have made bike racks for Land Rover. I spoke with my contact at Thule and he said that key number 4133 is not one of their key numbers. My contact at Yakima said that all of their key numbers begin with an A and follow with 3 digits. If the number on your key is A133, rather than 4133, you will want the Yakima Replacement Key # Y8772-A133. If this isn't the correct replacement key for you, you can send me a picture of the bike rack and the key....

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller on 2000 Range Rover HSE
  • If the trailer you're wanting to pull has electric brakes, and you want them to operate, you will need a brake controller. Having a dealer-installed 7-way won't eliminate the need for a brake controller. It sounds as if you've got a good handle on what you need. I'm not sure what '4 wire adapter kit ' you're speaking of consists of, but if it provides a 4-pole trailer connector for your Range Rover, the only other parts you'd need are the # ETBC7 brake controller installation kit you referenced...

  • Will the Reese Titan WD Shank # RP54976 Work with Reese Weight Distribution # RP66074
  • The Reese Titan Weight Distribution Shank, part # RP54977, will fit the Reese hitch head in the Reese weight distribution kit, part # RP66074. You will want to make sure that the 5-3/4 inch drop or 8-1/4 inch rise on the Reese Titan # RP54976 shank will work properly for the setup on your 2011 Ford Super Duty. To make an approximate determination of the rise or drop that is needed for your weight distribution shank, first jack up your trailer so that it is level and measure from the bottom...

  • Will Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock Fit a Land Rover-Branded Bike Carrier
  • It is entirely possible that the bike carrier you have was made by Thule. A Coworker found out that Thule made the bike racks for Land Rover until 2000 and then they switched to Yakima. Does the carrier have a name on it or a number of any kind? I could likely verify the manufacturer with a name or a part number or even by looking at some pictures of the carrier which you are welcome to email to me. If it is indeed a carrier manufactured by Thule then the Snug Tite lock # THSTL2 would fit.

  • Would the Trailer Connector Adapter for Land Rover fit a 2004 Land Rover Discovery
  • As long as the 7-way you have installed on your 2004 Land Rover Discovery has combined turn signal functions (blinker and stop on the same circuit) then yes the # 118710 would be the correct product that you would need.Trailer Connector Adapter for Land Rover

  • Bike Rack Solution for 2003 Land Rover Discovery II
  • The Surco part # BT300 just hasn't been test fit on your vehicle. There's a chance the rack would fit, but in reality we can't say for certain. However, the Malone Runway Spare Tire Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms Item # MPG2148 is a confirmed fit and should meet your needs.

  • Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller to a 2001 Land Rover Discovery II
  • Does your 2001 Land Rover Discovery II have a 4-Way flat connector on it? If not then the first step is to install one using # C59496. I believe I know the British Atlantic brand harness you are talking about and it is a regular US 4-Way flat. Then after installing the 4-Way, or if you already have a 4-Way, you would need # ETBC7 to add the 7-Way. This will also retain the 4-Way so you will have both on your vehicle. I have included some links that show and explain the ETBC7 installation...

  • Weight Distribution Solution for 2017 Somerset Evolution E3
  • We do have a weight distribution solution that will work well on your 2017 Somerset Evolution E3 w/ Deck but due to the limited clearance on the trailer frame where the chain hangers would attach you'd have to go with a set of bolt on weight distribution chain hangers like the # RP58305 which attach only to the side of the frame. You'll have to use a Reese weight distribution system with these hangers. Which I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we offer. You'd need to select...

  • Adding a 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector to a 2003 Land Rover Discovery II
  • Since the 2003 Land Rover Discovery has a 4-Way round connector it is most likely already converted. There should be one pin for right turn/brake lights, one pin for left turn and brake lights, one pin for running lights, and one ground pin. You can use a circuit tester like # PTW2979 to confirm. We do have an adapter that connects to a 4-Way round but it has a 4-Way flat at the other end, # 47465 so you would need another adpater like # 20036. What I recommend is to replace the 4-Way...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2004 Land Rover Discovery II
  • It sounds like you have a 7-Way blade style trailer connector which will look like # 37185. If you do have a European 7-Way, it will have a different design and pin functions. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2979 if needed to test the pins to determine what functions they have. Then compare those to what we list is the FAQ I linked to determine if you have a common North American type of connector or a European connector. If you do have a European trailer connector I do recommend switching...

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2002 Land Rover Discovery II
  • We have a universal towing mirror that should work well for your 2002 Land Rover Discovery II, but we don't have anything custom fit specifically for your vehicle. I recommend the K Source Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror, part # KS3891 for your truck. As long as you have a lip on the edge of your mirrors, these will work great for you. These mirrors are sold individually and will attach to either the driver or the passenger side mirrors. These mirrors measure 7-3/4 inches tall by 5-1/8...

  • Trailer Suspension Hanger Kit with the Most Lift for Tire Clearance Under the Trailer Bed
  • The # APT4 Tandem-Axle Hanger Kit will provide about 4 inches of clearance from the center of the trailer axle to the bottom of the trailer frame, with no load on the axle. This is assuming that your axle tube is 3 inches diameter. If your axle tube is smaller the height will be sightly less. The curve of the springs you select will have some affect also. I would recommend that you go with the APT5 hanger kit because all of the hangers are the same height and it will make it easier to...

  • Compatibility of the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller on a 2004 Land Rover Discovery II
  • The Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller, # TK94FR, will work on your 2004 Land Rover Discovery II. However, you will need to have a 4-pole flat and a 7-way trailer connector installed on the vehicle for this brake controller to work. If you do not have a 4-pole flat, then I recommend the Tekonsha Tail Light Convertor # 119178KIT. This kit will allow you to install the 4-pole flat plug needed to run the trailer turn, tail, and stop lights off of your vehicle's electrical system. You will...

  • Brake Controller Installation from Scratch on a 2001 Land Rover Discovery II
  • We do not currently carry a wiring harness for your 2001 Land Rover Discovery, so you will need to hard wire your vehicle. You will need three components. First, a brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. It is one of our best selling and highest rated brake controllers. Next, you will need Brake Controller 7 and 4-Way Installation Kit - 10 Gauge, # ETBC7. Last, you will need a 4-Pole trailer connector like Upgraded Circuit Protected Taillight Converter Hardwire Kit with...

  • Parts Needed To Install Brake Controller on a 2002 Land Rover Discovery II for a 2013 Lance Trailer
  • You will need to hardwire in a brake controller on your 2002 Land Rover Discovery II. First you will need to install a 4-Way trailer wiring harness unless the vehicle already has one, # 119178KIT. Next you will need a 4 and 7 way installation kit # ETBC7. This kit provides the 7-way, wiring, and accessories needed to install a brake controller on the vehicle. I have included some links that explain the ETBC7 installation. A 20 amp circuit breaker, included, would be used if you have 2...
