then why do they have it on big arctic lorries? mike

wow really would be that possible, thanks for the feedback thinking about looking into it as i do alot of miles with a trailer and haveing air brakes would take alot of strain off of the car, wouldn't it? mike

its a discovery 2 td5 2004 auto and when i start my car and put it into gear the little green cogs start to flash on my dash. i had the transfer xwy switch thing changed about 11 months ago because i had the same problem. it cured the problem until now. so is there any possiblity it...

sorry i apologise i mean the little green cogs with the s and m in the middle in the dash lights. they flash when i start the car and put it into gear. mike

i have been searching the forums and theres no straight answer for haveing the m and s lights on my dash. i had the gearbox switch thingy changed about 11 months ago and that solved the problem but now its back. lots of people are saying what ever u do dont drive with it as it will just cause...

lol i mean on a flat straight i have been overweight once or twice picking up pallets of blocks and sand. i was just wodering has anyone taken theres to a limit?

ive seen defender td5's with a factory fitted air brake attatchment for trailers. i was wondering if it was possible to do the same to a Discovery 2 td5 or if anyone has done anything similar to another vehicle even. mike

thanks everyone for the replies doesnt look like theres lots of options for me but will appreciate any more input. thanks mike

Lol pies arn't the issue but its croissants all the way from italy to england and then its a good old fry up lol. as for mpg its anything from 22 mpg to 29 mpg, when towing 3.5 tonne on the way to england it depends where i am as italy and switzerland can be very hilly but when i reach france...

hi i have a discovery td5 2004 (the new one with the facelift) and i live in the south of italy, i often make trips to england and back with a 3.5 ton trailer sometimes fully loaded. haven't had any problems (touch wood) but was wondering on how i could improve my fuel economy. i was thinking of...
