The reverse is on the 12s on pin 1 and pin 8 on the 13 pin. If you are only using the 12n then there is no reverse.
I hate 7 pin plugs and always hack them off and fit a 13 pin plug. The 7 pin arrangement is just terrible.

7 pin on the disco, 13 pin on the bike trailer.
So in summary current set up won't provide reverse lights as there isn't a pin?
How easy is it to change the 7 pin to 13 on the disco?
Thanks

It's no bother to fit the LR 13-pin loom as a DIY job.

Seems like a lot of extra wires that won't currently exist behind the 7 pin adapter so I take it this is a new loom? As I already have the electrics enabled then assume just the loom needed?
Thanks

I believe it needs a dealer or an electronic box to 'tell' the car which type is fitted?
Its something I must do soon, as my new caravan has 13 pin. I bought a twin 7 pin to 13 pin adaptor, and it work with all the lights, but its a big ugly thing to have to use.

The D4 does not appear to care if it is set to either 7-pin or 13-pin in the CCF, so it should just work when you fit the new loom.
