    Thanks Thumbs Up

    Russell - are you able to measure yours ? Also does the caravan sit level when hitched up ?

    From the Euro NCAP website the kerb weight of the D5 is 2390Kg.

    Taking those figures from the Euro NCAP site, means that the new D5 HSE weighs 247kg less than a 2006 SE D3, not that much really in the grand scheme of things ? Also bear in mind that the D5 towbar weighs 62kg so that takes the HSE to around 2452kg if a towbar is fitted.

    Removable here


    Sadly the factory ran out so rather than wait until May, I went for the manual. I also forgot to add tow assist!!! Censored

    What height is the centre of the towball from the ground ? Is it the fixed or removable one ?

    Removable. Height at low setting: 38m, Height at high setting: 53. Normal road height looks to be 41cm. However, without hitching up, I can't tell you where it settles when the full load is applied.

    Probably be a bit of difference depending on the wheels sizes, as well 19,20,21, or 22s???

    I'm not sure what you mean by height at low setting and height at high setting. If yours is the removable towball, then there is only one setting, unless you're talking about the adjustable fixed towball Question

    There shouldn't be, as the OD of the tyres are the same.

    You can manually set the height of the suspension. I was giving you the extremes and the point at where it seemed to settle with no load.

    Car is back. 42cm for edt
    When I'm not in the operating theatre, I'm mountain biking, spending time with my family, running and socialising. I have a Discovery 5 HSE Lux with pretty much every option ticked. This is my first ever Land Rover. Been a rocky road with regards to reliability but we're getting there.

    Ok I'm with you now Thumbs Up

    That's pretty much the same height as the towball on my D3, so my caravan would tow level.
