    RR2017: in Albania everything is legal Wink I used mine here for a while, but the moment they see me with their speed gun, which can be 500 meters far and still gives them very clear image, the detector picks up, what makes it pointless to use. They had the same speed guns in South Africa with the same results, so it’s only good for the other speed cameras, which they don’t use in Albania.

    In Belgium police will confiscate your car when they find/detect a detector, they do not joke with it... and you get a huge fine as well.

    Regarding the dashcam: I’m especially interested in the pics from the back one to see where you have put it and where the cable goes. Thanks in advance!

    Trip to the tip with a trailer full of garden waste. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the D5 recognises a trailer with LED lights, something the D4 didn't do so the parking sensors would always go off when reversing.

    Wives are never impressed, it’s in their genes. I am normally in the dog house, but doubly today as the eldest is at home doing final revision for a medicine exam. He doesn’t have a SOH and says my devil may care attitude is “inappropriate.” Rolling Eyes

    Good, you seem sorted. Thumbs Up I am booking my eldest onto a a full days LR Experience in the hope he may actually enjoy it and have fun. It may stop his adoration for sports cars and hatred of anything 4x4.

    Perhaps he might like a shot of a Defender. I’d have to give him a hammer and tell him if it plays up, just hit the offending part with it. I can just see his face!

    2017 Discovery Si6 HSE Kaikoura Stone

    Built trailer adapter to see LED


    Got tired not being able to choose tow mode for my boat. My 21 foot boat has led light trailer which D5 doesn’t see when I hook up. So built an adapter to trick the D5 and works finally. I have 2 stickers for trialed and making a plate to hold them as well. At least today I was finally able to get boat trailer to recognize it attached and find the target while asking. Thumbs Up Next will clean it up to look better.

    I think this is fixed in MY18. I had a trailer with LED lights hooked up a couple of weeks ago which the car recognised, turning off the reversing sensors etc.

    Land Rover Experience day.

    At Getabout training's property west of Lithgow, Marangaroo National Park and Lidsdale State Forest.
    I've done plenty of off road trips with the D4 and for me this was more to check behaviour of terrain response settings. Most notable change with terrain response I find is sand mode. In the D4 it was useful at traffic lights to get away quickly but in the D5 the car moves away slowly then progressively moves faster.

    Well run and knowledgeable instructors, an enjoyable day despite 25mm of rain.

    Went to the Sydney 4WD show today, picked up some Thule wingbars while they were on offer.
