That is completely illegal as the towing vehicle was not using extended door mirrors !

I towed a twin axle bailey senator series 6 and it towed nose down, as does my unicorn2 Barcelona, have you checked the nose weight with a gauge? Think it's 90kg. As said its best nose down

Thanks for that, will save me a $ or two.
Next question;
I have several towable 'vehicles', a motorbike trailer, agg trailer, a horse float and soon to be caravan the older trailers have the old original type lights the newer LED lights. I notice with the LED lights the indicators 'pulse' slightly all the time whist the ignition is on and carry on pulsing for about 10 minutes when the ignition is off both sieds together aka hazard lights? not as brightly as when the actual indicator is switched on but more of a low level pulsing. Any ideas?

I cant find it now but sure Land Rover Tow electrics not compatible with LED trailer lights

Not sure about yours DRDILL - did you have aftermarket fitted or maybe caravan wiring has resistor installed

Annoyingly LR have removed all info relating to RRS and accessories off their website pre new model - mine is not even a year old yet and everything is gone

I found this though -

^ yes your right muddy it definitely states not compatible but as I don't have led lights I can't confirm.

Thanks guys for the advice on this, the money I'll save on not buying the Alko ball I'll spend on getting the relays fitted on my next service, which incidently will include the new belts etc so the small cost of the electric mod wont be noticed ha ha.
