Fitting Auxiliary Lights
Most fog and spot lights use 55W bulbs
I=P/E. for example a 55W spot on a 12V system draws 4.6 amps.
only use 'e'-approved lamps on the road. Use 2.5m Cable and a good 30 amp
relay
and if fitting two or more lights use a 15 amp fuse
in line.

Towing trailers or caravans with vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes
Category B vehicles may be coupled with a trailer up to 750kgs MAM (allowing a combined weight up to 4.25 tonnes MAM) or a trailer over 750kgs MAM provided the MAM of the trailer does not exceed the unladen weight of the towing vehicle, and the combination does not exceed 3.5 tonnes MAM. For example:
Whereas
Towing caravansAs for towing caravans, existing general guidance recommends that the laden weight of the caravan does not exceed 85% of the unladen weight of the car. In the majority of cases, caravans and small trailers towed by cars should be within the new category B threshold. An exemption from the driver licensing trailer limit allows a category B licence holder to tow a broken down vehicle from a position where it would otherwise cause danger or obstruction to other road users. |

Tyre Pressures
Discovery 1 comes with two tyre sizes
205/70R16
235/70R16
For normal every day use
Front 34
Rear 38.
When off-roading or green laning
Front 44
Rear 48
Rear 48 235/70R16 are 60mm wider then 205/70R16 and give better road
handling.
The rolling radius of 235/70R16 is the same as the original tyre
and so will
not affect gearing, speedo etc. No modifications are required.
