    Discovery td5 tow bar type

    Yes as others have said movement up and down a bit is normal. If its a twin axle caranvan just take the time on some level ground to get the hight right as your on springs . And dont be alarmed if it sounds a bit clunky when towing . That's normal for that type of adjustable hitch

    Disco 2 Auto oil cooler pipe popped off.

    Might be wrong but dont think you should recheck oil level when the car/bix is hot . Think level should only be checked when you 1st start it up . I think ? Ps ive had these pipes pop off too

    Disco 2 12V Supply Query

    Rather than put a cigar 12v socket. Up their , a usb 12v socket is looks much smarter mounted up there , but it dose depend on what plug you have on the end of your dash cam plus they can be smaller on the back when fitting in a tighter space
