Towbar

My Range Rover Sport has a towbar and there is no key with it. I know I can get a new lock kit so how can I remove it without the key? Current cars

Hi,
If it's a genuine lock kit from L\R it should have instructions how to do it Thumbs Up

Or Utube it Rolling Eyes

Takes about 20 seconds to remove with the right two tools Big Cry Big Cry which is why you should always remove it before it gets nicked, also it's good maintenance

gone Corris Grey HSE Dynamic 2016
gone Ipanema HSE lux 2010
gone Rimini HSE 2005

Read the key number off the lock barrel and get a replacement key from:-

This video from Powerful UK shows how to overhaul the tow hitch. It's got some useful tricks, well worth looking at before you start:-



I've done mine following this advice.

Best of luck!

Managed to get the Witter fitting instructions on line and reversed the procedure to remove the fixed towbar. The removable one I left on the car when I sold it so if I want a removable one I will need to buy one. Rolling with laughter Current cars
