    CaverD3,
    So by your comment if I'm trying to find the offending sensor, the one that is going off all the time due to my rear wheel carrier now being installed, if cover all the sensors and then reveal and fix them one by one would this work? Does covering them over render them "off". I was under the assumption that if I covered them they would be seeing an object and go off anyway. Am I understanding what you say correctly?

    Hi Nomad9,
    The sensor is "blinded" if there is no air-gap between the sensor and the covering. I am not sure how thick the cover needs to be to be effective. Mine are 3-4mm thick 19mm dia self adhesive rubber chair leg stoppers and work OK. I have covered the inside half of the two inside sensors so that my Mitch Hitch does not set them off.

    Cheers
    Steve.

    Not the method i used but yes self adhesive closed foam tape will work to stop the sensor. I believe some have covered the top of the sensor only to stop wheel carrier setting it off.

    Hello all,

    Just to let you know that Mr Sutherland (the guinea pig) has graciously allowed us to trial fit our tow hitch to his D4.

    Woo Hoo it fits

    The only thing we have had to do is to gently die grind some of the excess casting material left on the inside of the recovery eyelet.

    The recovery eyelet seems to be substantially wider, which is good news for the longevity of our beautiful taper lock bush.

    We are also fitting a kaymar rear bar to it in early January and will keep you updated.

    Aaron Mitchell

    That's good news Aaron, as I have, today, recommended the "Mitch Hitch" to a D4 owner.
