Where to buy tow electrics for late 2012 sport.

Need the towing electrics for my Sep 2012 sport but it's a bit confusing as to what I need as I sure 2012 is different from 2011 but looking online the list 09-13 for some looms 2012-11 for others but not finding anything that confirms 2012 compatible .
Anyone suggest where I can purchase from that is good quality and with everything needed. 2017 SVR. SVO Scafell grey Ebony interior

The part number for the L/R kit for a MY12 on is VPLST0071 for the 13pin plug and VPLST0070 for the N&S 7pin plug. You should be able to cross reference to a pattern part I would think. I did manage to pick up a new genuine L/R 13 pin kit off ebay for £60.00 but that was just luck I think. A member on here 215m3 just recently bought the wrong one for his car, he might have what you need unless he managed to return it. Have a look at the link below, I have added a pdf file of the fitting instruction for 0071 kit to my gallery if you wanted a quick look, should be able to download from there as well if you wished to I think.

Agree with PF Jones as the system is plug and go!

You’ll probably need or at least want to have the files updated. That will stop the parking sensors beeping when the trailers on and you’re in reverse and I think it also alters the suspension. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Do you need to go back to Land Rover for the software update to tell it you have a tow bar ? 2017 SVR. SVO Scafell grey Ebony interior

Yes a nightmare. I managed to send the part back as was from Rimmer Bros. I purchased a part from LR from ebay at a discount/cost. Yet to fit it, but I know what to do as had it apart 3 times now.

I got mine from Beadles Sidcup LR, maybe give them a call as they checked against my vin before sending. The plugs look correct and there is also a wire for the soft close boot I was concerned about.

Goodluck with it 2010 3.0 TDV6 RRS Overfinch GTS

It shouldn’t be confusing.

If it’s a 13 pin you want it should be 29190512PF for a PFJ manufactured item at £74.55 or LR02013U for an ECS manufactured item at £110.88 they are the only 13 pin available. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Electric's all fitted once I had the bumper apron off as couldn't get my hand up between the chassis and the bumper to reach plugs. Only took about a hour and a half in the dark working with a torch.
Just need to get it plugged in to tell it the tow bar is fitted and job done. 2017 SVR. SVO Scafell grey Ebony interior
