    Had a similar problem with tekonsha. Picked up the camper trailer in Brisbane and drove all the way back to the hunter with no problems, but over Easter drove to Newnes and on the way a warning message flashed up showing a gearbox failure and shut the vehicle completely down.
    First time happened crossing the Hawkesbury River bridge and came to a halt in the middle with trucks bearing down on me.
    NO trailer brakes for the entire trip causing me to take it VERY easy. The car is in at Modern Motors Dungog at the moment getting llams installed and hopefully they will find the fault with the brake controller before going to the Cape in a months time.
    I'll pass on the previous problems posted to them in the morning and hopefully they can fix it!

    Update

    Just a quick update - towed the van again with the replaced relay in place and the brakes worked properly.

    However, there was no trailer indicator on the dashboard when the indicators were used. All lights on the van were working properly.

    What I'm wondering is - if the trailer indicator on the dashboard is not working does that mean the trailer stability function is not running? One of the main reasons for buying the disco was the trailer stability feature, not having it available is quite disappointing.

    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Thanks - I had a quick look at the Pulse Busta - I guess before I do anything else I need the dealer to look at the vehicle again. They've fitted some form of relay to deal with the LED lights on the van (for all I know it could be a Pulse Busta).

    Any case, thanks for the offer to help - I might take you up on that if my dealer can resolve this quickly.

    Disco will set off led lights on trailer, but without resistors or pulse buster etc, trailer stability will not work....and will not cause trailer symbol to come up on the dash.
    Since I put mine on, the tranny works differently and trailer stability assist has engaged on a couple of occasions.

    Just bought one of these from eBay, for the d4 though.
    Hopefully will fix all my problems

    It was going around a corner at cruisng speed on both occasions. The trailer weighs 3.5 tonnes. You could feel a tug come from behind....not for long. It was an unusual experience. I think that it did cut in too soon. I tried it without the unit switched on, and felt nothing. Turned it back on and hit the same spot again, and the same sensation occurred. It seems to feel that I needed to slow down.
