    Andy, I have posted a question in the following thread about wiring in of a load resistor to my MY14 D4.
    http://www.aulro.com/afvb/showthread...31#post2220731

    Probably should be having LED load resistor discussions in the other thread to keep things in the same location??

    Response from dealer was as expected, some have had success with adapter plugs but more then likely need something wired in. I had not asked prior so no issue in not being advised. I will look at options Towing Electrics - Big Tick

    I spoke to the salesman and the service dpt yesterday.They were totaly unaware that a LED equiped trailer will not activate the trailer stability programme etc.They thought it may be a problem with my D4 and offered to get it looked at.Told them they ALL have the issue along with other manufacturers.
    Even explained how the vehicle recoknises the trailer.
    They tell me they will talk to Land Rover and get back to me.

    Dealers, they live in vacuum. Must think their customers never talk to each other about their product

    I'm jack of getting requests to complete customer satisfaction surveys from them when all they need to do is get on here and start interacting with their customers to learn something about them and their own products.

    Well after almost a year, and with some extra help from Sean (SBD4), I finally have all my trailers working without a pulse buster.

    30 mins max for each trailer. I went with a 21w load resistor for each indicator on each trailer. With one, I still had a small blink on the indicator not fitted with a resistor, when the other indicator was lit.

    At this stage the are screwed to the trailer a-frame with a metal shroud. Sean has given me a few ideas if I wish to take this further in building a box to house them.

    The Touareg is a little smarter than the Disco and still tells me that parkers and brake lights were not working (a temporary load resistor on each of these circuits cured that, but removed as no biggy)

    I now have both cars that no longer need their own pulse busters, and also no forgetful wife not hitting the switch. Might have to put these pulse busters on the market.

    Thanks guys.

    Brett.....
