Thank you for the reply.

My van is probably a bit heavier. It started as 1.3t but with extras and water I suspect in is still well under 2t.

From what you say above my situation does seem strange then.

When slowing down to a stop you probably would not use 6v and my max setting would be within the boundaries. So having it set higher than my 3.6v or even using boost should not make any difference in the slowing to stop scenario but it does. I started at 6 and went up to the max even but that was worse.

However, also from what you say, my setting of 3.6v should be OK. I would be a bit more comfortable if it was higher but then it becomes jerky when stopping. may be some more driving will help.

Jerky braking towing the van turned out to be the vans brake drums being out of round.

I've set mine's max to 11.0V with no boost for a light pop-top at around 1.2T with 30" tyres (245/70-17) on bedded-in new 10" brakes. Using the lever driving at slow speed will lock the wheels on gravel but not bitumen.

Try no boost - mind was jerky at slower speeds (say like in roadworks traffic) when I had boost on. I would be suspect at running it so low all the time as isn't that putting extra load on the car brakes? In saying that though you have a roughly 1.5t trailer behind a 2.5t car - I have a 1.6t behind a 1.8t car

In my set the max volts is 3.6
In normal driving if you never do more than that having it set higher is no advantage

Mind you I am sure if I believe that 😄

a bit late on last week's conversation, but I had the Dolium tank installed August last year (with bash plate). The main tank fills first, then overflows in the aux. The overflow is lower than the nozzle guard, so the guard has not been removed in the fitting.
Hi Flow is still the pain it was before, and even the standard gets some good blow back half the time.....

Hi Mate,

On Monday I picked up a car a 'year' older than yours (MY13) for $85K.

However, it was only delivered to Australia in November and has only just got registered.

It's a SDV6 SE, seven seats, rear air, premium leather, electric seats, H&K sound, reverse camera, metallic paint, floor mats, mud flaps, boot liner, tow tongue & ball, tinted, delivered from Cairns.

No SATNAV or Bi-Xenon (like my old one) though which is a PITA.

Cheers,

Kev.

Hi Kev,
Who did you source your D4 through? I'm in the market to replace mine this month and am looking for a keen deal.
Cheers

To add to this I contacted Long Ranger via ARB who have assured me the feature is not lost.

Well that's incorrect information...

Long Ranger replaces the filler with a dual inlet unit which replaces all the upper portion including the misfuelling device.
