Which ever one you get. Make sure you it's "Type Approved" or you'll be breaking the law and your insurance will be invalidated, if you have an accident.
Darren:
As redhand says, the big problem with tow hitches for the DII is type approval. Neither the Southdown, Scorpion, Discoparts or any other aftermarket receiver-based or demountable system has it and, given the costs involved, are never likely to.
It doesn't mean they're badly engineered - just not legal to use. In the event of something going wrong then they'll be found to contravene C&U regs and likely invalidate insurance.
Range Rover Blues:
I'm not sure that's true, I can't remeber who but someone has type-approved their towbar for the DII.
It's not that hard to do.
Guardian.:
ITS NOT HARD TO DO AT ALL, JUST I BELIEVE VERY EXPENSIVE.
YOU JUST HAVE TO SUPPLY THEM WITH A COUPLE OF THE ITEMS.
THERE IS AN APPROVAL PLACE ABOUT 50 MILES AWAY FROM US, I AM GOING TO GET A COSTING IN THE NEAR FUTURE, IF ITS VIABLE WILL TYPE APPROVE, OTHERWISE LIKE ALL THE OTHERS, WONT!
Range Rover Blues:
I believe larger companies like tow**** do their own.
I'll tell you a little story I heard sometime :wink:
