From your later pic of your StoneStomper bar your towbar insert seems to be upside down which would make it so low.Quote:

I finally got to try out the trailer ball mount (TBM) today with the standard LR hitch.
Because I have had to get a trailer ball mount with a significant rise I am finding the reverse sensors are going off. I haven't found which one and I can just switch the sound off it still is a pain. I think this is better than covering the sensor as other have done as it is only an issue when I want to tow and the TBM is in.
On another note:
It appears that the front sensors for the MY14 have moved a bit (according to the sale man). I am unsure about the back. I contacted both Opposite Lock and Kaymar to see if their spare wheel carriers will cause sensor problems.
OL said they do.
Kaymar said they have not seen a MY14 Discovery.

I would recommend that any MY14 disco owners who plan to get an ARB bull bar installed to contact them first. In fact any bull bar company
As the front of the MY 14 has changed the sensors and headlight washers do not line up. I had this confirmed by ARB.
This is probably why the dealers were told to not install the LR bar on the MY14
Richard
Surely it is only a matter of time before they have one! Boss just got a new Playdo - Silly man and said that ARB haven't got a bar for that either yet.

I had just passed another vehicle, so was in the right lane, when there was a slight shudder and the Disco lost all power. I quickly indicated left so I could coast to a safe section off to the left shoulder of the freeway.
I don't know whether I had a premonition of this happening but in December I had purchased a 2 year extended warranty from LR Morwell for $3k.
Having this warranty in place meant I was able to ring Roadside assist to flatbed the Disco to the dealer at Morwell and order a hire car.
On Wed the worst was confirmed that my Discovery had a broken crankshaft. This was extremely disappointing as we recently sold our FPV as we thought we would only need one car in our retirement, little did we know!
I am in the process of extending the car hire as the Disco probably won't be repaired until the end of March.
The claim itself is still in progress so hopefully there will be no issues.
This post is for the information of any Disco owner who's vehicle is approaching warranty expiry, you should seriously consider the extension as it protects you for a further 100,000kms if you intend keeping the vehicle. If you decide to sell you should ask for a higher price as it will give the purchaser peace of mind as the warranty is transferable.
I hope this post is helpful to you guys, I'll keep you up to date on the claim and how it's handled.
Wow, first I have have read on this happening to a 3.0 litre engine - that is a concern. I got the extended warranty on mine too - peace of mind is worth every penny.Quote:

Hi,
Has anyone had a aux tank installed in a MY14 discovery.
Just wandering if this will interfere with the feature that stops you from filling the tank (the main one) with petrol instead of diesel.
Richard
Answer: you will lose it
