12s wire up

Hi all.
I’ve just brought my 2nd disco 3hse on a 55 plate ( sold 07 one in February)
Has anyone wired up a 12s before and is it easy-ish?
I’ve been looking at prices for this and looks quite expensive, about £100- £200 Shocked
so is there a cheaper way of doing this? Question
Or do I have to get a specific one for the d3?
Anyone with knowledge or an idea would be great
And also anyone know where to get a cheap one?

Cheers

These are pretty straight forward to fit.

thanks

Thumbs Up
thanks to all your replies, it does look relatively straight forward, so will get a lead already made up and (try) give it a go, Confused
i did put one in on my disco2, but wasnt sure if it would interfere with the other electrices, like showing fault lights on the dash on d3.

i will keep you posted and let you know if it goes well or not well Laughing

thanks again.

Land Rover plug???

Ok so an update on how it’s going
I got the wire, plug and relay.
Wired the plug,no problems Very Happy
Went to attach plug to mount already on the back and it don’t bloody line up Big Cry
The plug holes x3 are nowhere near the ones already there Censored Censored
Is there a way around this or is there a Land Rover one I have to get?????

Any help on this would be great 👍

Hi

Don’t forget the towing socket mounts sideways , u will also need the spacer and rubber cover , also a 15amp fuse

Just looking for some links

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12n-and-12s-7-p...SwWxNYzAJ7

I also used stainless steel fixing bolts

Can’t find the spacer required

Hi gs
I did try it all ways still no joys Censored
What spacer are you talking about?
I’ve put an inline fuse to the main with a waterproof case Thumbs Up

So it’s a standard 12s plug? The grey one Question

Cheers
