In this video we have a play with the electric deployable tow bar / tow hitch on our Range Rover L494. We look at how to extend it and also how to retract it. Also we look at how to reset it when you have the warning lights flashing etc.

Thanks so much. That tip on resetting was a great help. Had changes fuse but couldn't understand the fault.

I have just experienced a problem with my wife's Range Rover Sport, whereby the tow hook was not deploying. I only had one indicator showing on the right-hand side, so by continuously holding the button down, the towbar finally popped out and I heard the double beep! By the way, my electrics were also pretty gummed up but with a fairly tough pull down, they made themselves known to daylight and all is good. Thank you for your very polite, concise, and helpful video. A real lifesaver - especially in this time of lockdown and with no dealer to turn to. Brilliant!

Great you are doing all these videos, when it the one about repairing the side body work properly, your initial walkaround video showed the kinks and dents. Given the dodgy bumper repair and creased headlining I sense trouble at mill??

Yes its not pretty - we have a few problems with the car 1 - B Pillar / rear wheel arch is badly repaired 2 - There is no phone or navigation 3 - There is a problem on the high speed CAN Bus.... this is a worry as i think we have no ABS and it looks like the ABS fuse is pulled ! 4 - There is an error messsage from rear E Diff 5 - Central locking on rear drivers door not working !

If the can bus wiring runs along the inside of the sills/b pillar it could easily have been damaged and as we saw from the rear bumper badly repaired??

My MY16 L494 has a circular spring on the electric socket so it comes down automatically when the towbar deploys. Looks like yours might just be bunged up with dirt.

When installing plastic parts, sometimes a solid hand smack is better than pushes, you've gotta get the head of that clip to set! And a side note, the "flat head" clips are made to push strait in the locked position.

Not a chance you have to manually pull down the electric socket. On my Discovery Sport it is pulled down along with the tow-bar.

Do you all plan on selling a hidden/stealth hitch kit for a L494? I would love to find a kit that you can't see when not in use. All the ones I've found are ugly looking and take away from the bumper look.

Hi, checking back in on this? I assure you if you can work with your partners to some type of bold on stealth tow hitch set, it would be hugely popular. I understand it may take some customization on the rear bumper but well worth it.

@@toddthom4508 Just went looking again for the OEM hitch kit for my 2014 L494 and the impact bar is going for $900 to $1,200. Why has no company made an aftermarket kit for this more hidden hitch??? I would pay $500 all day long for one of these that are much less visible than the Curt/UHaul versions, big revenue opportunity here. Sad I still don't have a response for my posts here so guessing I need to email you all as well.

Hi I’ve got a Range Rover Vogue 2013 with a electric deployable towbar. And he’s got issues, I managed to replace the motor as it had a seized. But all the time the red and green light flashes and the buzzer is constantly buzzing. I’ve done the reset, run the engine for over two seconds turning it off, then ign on and off. This will allow me to press the on off button and then keep the deploy button pressed and the towbar will deploy. Although all the time the buzzer sound is constantly on, and there is no two beeps to confirm is deployed correctly and the ECU reset. Then you have to go through the full reset again to stow the towbar, again all the time the two LEDs are flashing and the buzzer constantly going. Have you any ideas what this could be, I don’t think it’s a towbar issue maybe possibly the towbar ECU.

Well done for replacing the motor - this is not an easy job - the problem we have found replacing the motor is the small encoder that sits on top of the motor that counts the number of turns of the motor. It sounds to me that this may be your problem - the encoder may not be working correctly.

@@L663 Is there any way to rectify this or is it a new motor, the thing is though the ECU buzzes even when non of the towbar electrics are connected. I did try it with a another towbar, this was from a range of a sport but has the same connector and the same thing happened. Same noise, same flashing LED. The reset did the same thing, the buzzer was constantly buzzing, you could deploy or Stowe the towbar but only after a reset.

Did you ever manage to fix this? I’ve got the same problem where the red light is constantly flashing and wont deploy and the buzzer keeps going off every time I turn the car off (this goes on for a good minute or so). Finding it very annoying without any solution but to replace the whole thing..
