Thanks Barneyridge for this info and the images.
I am looking for a solution for this LED trailer lights issue. I looked on the web and did find so far a LED adaptor module offered by http://www.linearelectronicdesign.com.
I emailed them to ask if this offers a solution for the Evoque and asked for the price.
Do you have more info about the LR product?
Another question. Does the Australian tow bar come standard with a flat or a round pin. My trailer has a round pin and I want to prevent the use of an extra adapter.

Not sure of the LR product, but the service manager said that there was a product that they have previously used for use with the Range Rover and Discovery. He was not sure of the exact item, but knew they had sourced a product in past. He did provide the name of the guy to speak to at the service department but I did not call or follow up. Maybe give you local dealer a call and they maybe able to provide further info. Mine was the first tow bar my dealer had fitted.
My dealer advised when I book the car in that they use a flat pin connector and ask if that was ok. Therefore I assume you could probably ask for a round pin instead. There is a Freelander 2 in my car park with a round pin connector (LR logo on the flap as well) so it appears possible.

Thanks. I will check with my dealer and keep the forum informed. I still have som time to wait. My car was build 16 Feb and I hope the car is on the boat leaving Southampton yesterday. So far I could not find my VIN in their cargo.

did you try searching on the website:
http://www.2wglobal.com/www/customerCentre/cargoTrackingLaunchPage.htm
and in the cargo ID put the full VIN number.
it should tell you if its loaded or not.

Hi Chiggy,
Yes I did. My car is in Topix with a build date of 16 Feb. I didn't show up so far on the website you suggested. If I remember other threads well, it might take a few days before it shows up. But I hope that it is on the boat now...

Thanks Barneyridge, tow bar looks great, a lot cleaner finish then I thought.
Great to hear that the Evoque has no trouble towing your boat.
Will be installing a bar on mine but might wait until after delivery to save $300 or so tax dollars
Cheers

Evoque U, that is what I did. The fitted price was $1100 approx. As Kerry Packer said I don't mind paying tax, but as long as the use it in the right way. No point paying extra tax given our current governments .
