Frequently asked questions

What is the NRC8048 towing socket plate used for?
The NRC8048 towing socket plate is a mounting bracket that carries the trailer electrical socket at the rear of the vehicle. It locates the socket behind the tow bar and supports the wiring connection to a trailer or caravan. It fits Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic towing electrics.
Which vehicles does the towing socket plate fit?
The NRC8048 fits the Defender (up to VIN MA962814), Discovery 1 (VIN FA393361 to WA799999) and Range Rover Classic (from VIN JA610294) with towing electrics. Check your chassis number against these ranges, as the socket plate changed across the towing electrics updates.
Does the NRC8048 include the trailer socket itself?
The NRC8048 is the socket plate, the mounting bracket that holds the trailer socket, not the electrical socket or wiring. If your existing socket and loom are sound you can reuse them, or order the socket separately if it's damaged. Confirm which part your towing kit needs before buying.
