Removing hitch

I purchased a used RRS and it didn't come with a key to remove the hitch and the hitch was on when I bought it. Do I have to go to the dealer to get a key or are there any other ways to remove it??

2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Arctic Frost

This was discussed over on Disco3 a while ago.

I'm sure there is a way of removing the tow hook but the solution wasn't posted on the open forum. Just incase it sparked a flurry of stolen tow bars by cheeky young kids.

You could try doing a search of their forum or just ask the question over there. Someone may send you the information. Explain that you are a member on here first though otherwise they may not give you the information. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

Ahhh, your right, never thought of it that way. Thanks, I'll look into the other forum or just ask my dealer to remove it for me. This hitch came with the RRS, is this correct or was that purchased after. I am not the original owner. I assumed it came with the RRS since I did see some available space/slots under my trunk lid which is what I assumed this was for.

There not a key in the boot stowage area ? I posted on this - apparently most towbars are the same key - your stealer could possibly remove and supply keys?

I had a hook fault with the lock and the dealer couldn't remove w/o the key - the only fault i know is that you can remove the key when removed and you shouldn't be able to - that is why the keys fold over - for storage.

PM for more ...

IIRC there are only 8 different keys. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Called the stealers, $30CAN for a new key. I only got the main key when I purchased vehicle(got to purchase another one of those too and it cost $340 + 130 to program, but that is another vent!)

not too sure, these RRS were first released in '06 in Canada and North America. Not sure if mine is an Alaska White, is there another white cause I have yet to see one here.
