This Auto lecky was impressed though the car was already fused and wired, an earlier one I talked too said he would have to rewire the car front to back as he couldnt be sure of the wiring installed... [bighmmm][bigrolf]

For the brake controller, please read the sticky thread at the top.
For the oil level reading, you can refer to the manual. If the car did not come with the manual, you can view it online. Lots of interesting reading in there [bigsmile1]

Hi Pedro,

I may have missed something..........have you towed the van with the SDV8 yet?

Not yet,, Monday is the day, bought some Milenco Aero 4's that I had to cut down slightly[bighmmm] (12cm off the rods...)
no idea if the van/car will sit level until then, the d2 towball always was an inch or two too high,
Only going to Yandina so just enough time to check on wheel bearings, [bigwhistle]

anyone else using Milenco's? post pics of the attachment? maybe I'm not pushing hard enough...

new seat covers installed,, [smilebigeye]

Nice, you found the oil level check![thumbsupbig]

The car will always be level but you may need to adjust the height of the towball to get the van level.

I use milenco aero 4s on the defender

Good units

I use cable ties as well as the clamps but I doubt that sort of attachment would suit your upmarket rattler

[emoji4]

Hi Pedro, I have used the Milencos. I put the clamps on the underside of the mirror which is more parallel to the ground than the upper side. I have the Milencos then sitting above their rods. the clamps just fit between the mirror glass and the housings, and will still allow you to move the glass with the in-vehicle controls. If you cut down the ends,(like you have mentioned) you can arrange it so that the mirrors can still fold in when you lock the car without the rods touching the bodywork (just). I am in between vans at the moment, I will see if I can dig out a photo of old van.

This photo was with Milenco aero 3.

Let us know how it goes.
We get our van next week hopefully.

They let me tow a van like ours about 40 Klm's a couple of months ago. The 4.4Lt SDV8 pulled it along nicely.

Thanks for all the info..

Yep, looking to undersling the mirrors, the car ones are such big boofy things to see over/around to start with, [bighmmm]

Hi Pedro, enjoying the activity you have generated on this forum keep up the good work.

You may need to look into these mirror pads designed specifically to suit Land Rovers. I have a set for my Milenco mirrors and they lock the mirror onto the car mirror more securely
