13 pin tow electrics, quick question...
I have just replaced the 12n and 12s electrics with a 13 pin setup. Genuine LR kit.
Those who have 13 pin, is your plug in the right or the left hand hole as you look at the back of the car?
Is the plug orientated so that the flap opens vertically or horizontaly?
Mine came with an adaptor plate that attaches to the cars crossmember, and the plug attaches to it. The only way I can see to orientate it is horizontally? Seems a bit odd.
Socket on the right with the hinged flap at 3 o’clock seems to be the most common fitting.
