Several Freelanders ago I bought one from a dealer with a towbar attached and asked for it to be removed as I don't need one. When I picked up the car the rear parking sensors didn't work so the workshop manager drove it into the workshop and a few minutes later it reemerged and all working fine. "I just needed to make a change to a setting" he said. So. it looks like something in the configuration file needs looking at. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

Perhaps someone on the forum knows if it's something that a non LR dealer could do? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

May be cheaper to try a local towbar fitter.

Plug the electrics back in, if the sensors work again just put the electrics out of sight by the spare wheel. Common sense isn't very common.

AFAIK pre- 2013MY are not plig and play electrics and need to be activated by a dealer. It looks as though your car may have had the standard sensor setting altered to accommodate the towing electrics.
So it looks like it's either a visit to the stealers or as axle suggests plug it back in and conceal in the boot somewhere. No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

"Fiat Lux" a philosophy not a car

It is as westville says. On pre MY13 cars towing electrics are not fully plug and play and have to be 'activated' by a dealer (or Indy with the necessary equipment).

Similarly, when activated towing electrics are removed, they need to be 'deactivated' to restore the car back its to pre-electrics configuration.

Simple job and dealer charges will vary. Some independents can do it too.
