There are a lot of cables under the mat - where the spare wheel is stored. I allways wanted to put some extra parts that I carry arrund all the time (ie the wheel bolt safety a liter of engine oil antyfreeze aso) there or is there a risk of damaging the cabes or even worse?

I was think on the lines of if it damaged whilst "playing" could it short something out and cause more damage that way.

Though by the looks of it with a couple of mins with a socket set you could remove the electrical parts too

I'm pondering on removing the towbar part next time as it looks to be held on by two bolts, but then i won't know what torque to tighten it back up to.

When I had an early rangie I put a towbar on it (trailers only - no caravans) and put the socket inside a small Tupperware box before bolting onto the car.
This had a short safety chain from the lid to the box.
Absolute 100% protection from day one and cost was minimal 'cos I nicked it off t'wife.

Hi,
I was told that when the tow bar and electric is fitted to the freelander 2. I need to take the freelander 2 to the main agents to have a download on the vehicle to activate the electrics or they dont work.
Is this true?
Any advise welcome.
Regards
