Also, I have the same 7 pin rectangular tow electrics and hitch receiver and bought from Autobarn an adjustable "trailer ball mount" for $149. This gives me the advantage of height adjustment so when the bike rack is fitted I raise it up 75mm (undo two bolts). Gives beter departure angle.

The adapter cables are at any auto shop (to go from rectangular to round) try Autobarn/Supercheap/Repco etc.

Dont be worried if you have to replace the whole taillight, (LHS is part no. XFB000170 or ..170P for non OEM) look on the web and you'll find plenty, even new you can get them for about GBP $22.50 from Rimmer Bros in the UK. http://rimmerbros.richfx.com.edgesui...ia/discovery2/ This is a good catalogue and worth browsing even just to get the part numbers before doing other searches.

happy motoring

Thanks for all the replies and help - much appreciated. Sorry for the late reply. #2 on the way in 5 weeks and running around after #1 (albeit very slowly lol) has been keeping me busy & away from the puter ...

My last question - Does anyone know of any mechanics around the Mornington Peninsula / Frankston area in VIC that can service my D2? I'm about 4K away from the 228k's for my next service based on the sticker on the windshield. I've noticed the manual gear gets a little stuck first thing in the morning (if it's been cold, seems to be fine when it's warmed up) and has only done it twice now where it has 'slipped' out of gear.

Not sure if it's me or something starting to go askew with the gears / clutch plate / gearbox (hopefully not the latter) and want someone who can check that out for me as well as service it... and tell me what's what with it if anything else needs attention with it.

Thanks,

Lolla

(ps - I know I still need to post a pic of my D2!!)
