Hi all, I am a new member as of today and I have a couple of questions......
(2009 Heritage 640 ESD - towcar = Discovery 3)
When I bought the van a couple of days ago I discovered that the "white" socket on my car was unserviceable and as a consequence the trailer control wizardry was not powered up. I elected to tow it home anyway and was a little disappointed by the way it swung about especially when being passed by trucks or large vans. (more than other vans I have towed) I fixed my electrical problem and the green light now illuminates after a bit of clicking and whirring and the van is MUCH more stable....
I thought a twin axle van would be fairly stable anyway - even without the control system? The van was completely empty and the Discovery is more than capable as a tow car so I checked the tyre pressures and all is well.
Is it normal for a 640 to be a bit "twitchy" on the motorway or do I need to look at the loading?
I shall be fitting shock absorbers if there is enough room (twin motor movers) so maybe that will help.
Also, the top sliders for the rear bedroom door are broken and I cannot locate a replacement - has anyone solved this problem? Pic attached... (I think!)
Other than that I am very impressed - although it does feel like I am dragging a small bungalow down the road!
Thanks in advance.
John
