Expert Answers about Land Rover


  • Understanding Overrun Brake Towing Capacity of 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  • Overrun brakes are brakes that use the inertia of the trailer against the vehicle braking to activate trailer brakes. For trailer brakes this is most commonly a style known as surge brakes that use hydraulic pressure. Installing a brake controller in your 2018 Range Rover Sport to operate trailer electric brakes would provide the same purpose. A really popular option is the Brake EVN # TK63VR which to install in your vehicle would only require the # 3035-P which plugs in under the dash.

  • Why Does 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Use Brake Controller Install Harness for Ford Vehicles
  • For your 2012 Land Rover the correct harness to install the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 is the part # 3035-P that you referenced. From 2000 to 2008 Land Rover was actually owned by Ford so it's not a huge surprise the vehicle is using an older Ford style connector for the brake controller.

  • Installing Rhino Rack Roof Rack # RSPT508 on 2010 Range Rover Sport
  • The Install of the Rhino Rack Roof Rack with Crossbars, part # RSPT08 on your 2010 Range Rover Sport is pretty straightforward. The plastic molding that runs down the tracks on either side of the roof is removed, and then trimmed. The roof rack tracks are installed into existing hardware, and the plastic roof molding will install around the tracks once it is trimmed. Purchase of the rack does indeed include installation instructions.

  • Does the Exhaust of a 2016 Land Rover Discover Sport Get Lowered for Hitch Install
  • When you install the Curt hitch part # C13396 on your 2016 Land Rover Discover Sport the exhaust will not end up lower than before the install. The exhaust will stay in the same place. The picture you have found in the instructions shows the exhaust lowered, but that is not how it would look when installed. During the install process of the hitch the exhaust will get temporarily lowered so that the hitch can fit into place. It will go back to where it belongs though.

  • Routing Wiring for T-One 4-Way Harness on a 2015 Land Rover Evoque
  • As long as the T-One # 118624 wiring isn't touching the heat shield it is in a good place on your 2015 Land Rover Evoque. I have attached an installation video of us installing this wiring kit on a 2013 Evoque that you can reference. If you plan on using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75227 for towing then to complete a towing setup you also need a ball mount kit.

  • How to Install a Brake Controller in a 2000 Land Rover Discovery II
  • What you can do is test the wiring of the connector you found with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to see if there is a stoplight switch circuit on the harness that you could use to install the Prodigy Brake controller part # 90885, but we do not have a plug in harness that will allow for brake controller installation on your vehicle. If not, then you will need to wire the controller up to the wiring of your brake switch like the install instructions for the # ETBC7 indicate. I would recommend...

  • 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...

  • Does ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness 119250KIT Need TO be Run To Vehicle Battery?
  • I wish that would work but Powered Modules like the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT you are installing need to get power directly from the battery using the included fuse to protect the circuit. Adding this connector onto an existing circuit could cause it to not receiver adequate power which can cause the connector to stop working, or damage to the module which would now not be covered under warranty due to improper install. Since going underneath the...

  • 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...

  • Will Installation of Trailer Hitch Receiver Void Warranty on 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  • Installation of a hitch like the Curt # C13243 on your 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport will not void the warranty. It is not uncommon for a dealer to tell a customer that it will void the warranty. However, consumers are protected under the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This allows aftermarket parts to be installed without warranty issues unless the installation or part caused a problem. The simple act of installing a hitch or other aftermarket part does not void the warranty.

  • Prodigy P2 Brake Controller Installation in 2015 Land Rover Range Rover
  • It sounds like you are hardwiring your Prodigy P2 # 90885 trailer brake controller. If the controller is not powering up the issue would be on the black wire that delivers 12V operating power to the controller via a circuit breaker like # PK54230. The white ground wire also of course must be connected to the battery negative terminal. You can refer to the linked article on brake controller installation to see the complete wiring scheme.

  • 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...

  • Curt states that a full-sized spare will not fit on your 200 Land Rover LR3 with their hitch part # 13456 installed at the same time. You might consider tracking down a smaller spare so that you can still have a spare with this hitch installed. We had the chance to install this hitch on a 2006 Land Rover LR3 just like yours. Check out the video I attached that will walk you through the install. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900....

  • Will the Trailer Wiring Harness Affect a 2008 Land Rover LR2 Back-up System
  • No, the # C59496 trailer wiring harness for the 2008 LR2 by Land Rover will not affect the back-up sensors on your vehicle. No other parts are required to install a 4-Way trailer connection.
