I think everything you have said in your post is correct. I tow with different trailers regularly, and ride quality is severely compromised by over inflated tyres. They should be adjusted to the load being carried. That calculator you have found seems a good source to use. The worst trailer I have is an ifor williams with low profile tyres (to reduce the loading height), and even though it has suspension, it has a high load capacity, so the tyre pressures are high, and when towed with no load on it jars and bounces over every lump in the road.

No problem, had mine off last year to change cam belt. Still hoping I might make the f&c run, work allowing. Alastair

Top pipe (of the two big ones) on Apollo connected to filter housing connection nearest block on mine. R300k Alastair

"As an aside, I've sourced the following ear defenders, +90db or whatever the exhaust is for the trip down, the chippy run and the trip home I suspect won't do my long term hearing any favours. " Too late now but I have bluetooth stihl ones for work and they are excellent, and would also be able to be used with phones as a makeshift intercom.

Did the tensioner fail or loosen do you think? Probably difficult to tell exactly what happened. Alastair

We waved... on our way to Dursley for Gloucestershire U9's rugby festival. We also waved to Millwood on our way past!

Yes, the outside wears significantly more on the front tyres on trackdays, and usually one side more than the other depending on the circuit. Rears wear more evenly. Alastair

Straight on to the nose. Sounds like you must have a more streamlined process than over here, we have to submit the paperwork from the IVA at a different location (or we did when I registered mine in 2002!!)

Linky is this what you are looking for? Shows compatability with some Peugeot models. Alastair

I would run through this with CC on the phone before you get too disheartened, they may have some ideas that we don't.

Great work Chris C, and feel for you Ctr. You would have thought it would have to be some pretty obvious damage to be giving such a consistent earth with no water about.

No that's not right. Can you take the lens cover off the light, take the bulb out and check the two again.

I think my money is going to be on faulty led unit in the reverse light. Assuming it is led.

If you have more spare fuses it may be worth trying leaving the short bodge wire in and disconnecting the reverse light see if the fuse still blows. (May narrow down the section of loom to look at).

It's not the switch at fault then. Before you completely rule it out, check that there is no way that the piece of wire you used could have touched ground by mistake, otherwise you could be going on a wild goose chase. Now you are going to have to do as Chris C suggested and disconnect the brake lights and check the loom sections for ground.
