- As some of you may know the UK government have announced that they are changing the law so that if you passed your test before 2013 you can now tow a trailer upto 3.5 ton (Depending on the limits of the towing vehicle).
With that announcement we decided to have a towbar fitted to Abi's car so she can tow here horse around and I can tow my track car around! The towbar was supplied and fitted by Bermick Motor Accessories in Leicester.

Fair play to the guys at Bermick for sorting the car out for you both(mainly the wife). Just need another trackcar now 👀
Get ready to smash your shins especially when your loading shopping....... happy Christmas Dan
You got the easy one!! I have the 5+2 with the under mount spare… Land Rover REALLY likes the hitch that’s made for my sport…
Your description is wrong, it's not just those who passed before 2013 - it's everyone who holds a valid category B (car) will get B+E added, irrespective of when they passed their test :) So basically everyone since 1st Jan 1997 (which is when the law changed last time).
It's all about having fun mate fair play, if you haven't towed before it might be worth getting some pointers or advice... or practice with an small trailer much harder to manoeuvre than large trailer 👍
I would have gone with the same towbar Dan as you can't be to safe when towing trailers. It's been a lot of years since I fitted a towbar and while they have made the electrics easier it seems to be a right faff fitting the actual unit with having to remove the complete bumper, back in my day it was just drilling a few holes then bolting it on under the bumper 🙄😂👍
Looks very tidy, not like they use to be 30 years ago Dan with wires going everywhere.
Hi Dan, Could you let us know the make of the Tow Kit that you used, please as well as the electric kit please as the one you have used looks easier than others.
Does this reduce ground clearance at all?
My wife wants a discovery sport, and I want something that can tow a track car. Would you recommend it for its towing abilities? Whats the actual towing capacity of it, land rover dealer say 2.8t google says 2.2t
Iv ordered my new discovery sport
What year is yours
As Iv been told not all discovery sport need the bumper cutting
This is a 2016
yay cool
How much did it cost for the8 kit and fitting
Hi
If you’re competing for prizes with a car or a horse, even a rosette that’s hire and reward and you’re into the realms of tacho and operators license.
It's only classed as hire or reward if you are earning from it and it's a main source of income, it's less than 7.5 tonne train weight so operator's licence is not needed and if a tacho is not fitted to the vehicle there is no need to use one....also means there is no need for a cpc qualification.
