    I had mine done in Qld ... at Caboulture, Dave Blears did it.

    Dave runs this site! He has a computer business ... he hosts sites.

    But he still does car electronics, and having I think started the Aulro site, he should know about Land Rovers.

    But actually I needed the Traxide system done in QLD straight away, and Tim from Traxide advised me to go to Dave Blair. Davecandoit.com.au, I think the address was Unit 2 7 Lear Jet Drive, Caboulture, near a turn off to Bribie Island.

    He did a great job too.

    It does not change the Trailer Stability
    I had a resistor device installed onto the trailer (the device cost $26 which was a high price but others did not have it in stock).

    The trailer icon now appears.

    I have noticed a difference in gearbox behaviour too.

    Also - its using more fuel!! I think it hangs onto gears more ... and when checking the instance fuel economy readings, lowering the revs does improve fuel consumption.

    On the flat though, it was the same.

    Coming back, the fuel use seemed the same as before the trailer icon appeared ... so now I am wondering, if the gearbox learn't my driving style?

    Curious ....

    Is that a mistake $26, cause that is cheap not expensive

    No ... a twin pack costs under $30.

    Here is Narva's product: http://www.narva.com.au/products/bro...oad-resistor-2 - Autobahn advertise it, but do not stock it. So I bought it at Repco, for a higher price. But Repco stock it.

    I used just one, and kept the other as a spare.

    Its in the trailer though. The ones that automatically get an LED trailer to work, and are in the vehicle, cost a lot more.

    You can buy single packs of the "LED" brand for $10.

    I was going to put a resistor into the brake lights themselves - such resistors cost $1.50. But the brake lights on my van, were too difficult to get into, due to the metal bars which protect the van from off road damage. I posted on the companies web site to put such a resistor into their circuits somewhere, as so many vehicles do not handle LED trailers properly.
