tank guard
Jonny Boaterboy:
Your could be right Bowie, this banging has got me stumped. when the trailer is unloaded and goes over a bump at around 40mph it transmites the shock right through into the Rangey, to the point that the mobile phone in the holder mounted on the dash jumps out, and the CD jumps and the whole dash is violently shaken :? It is almost eliminated when the trailer is fully loaded and does not happen if the trailer is not attached eliminating the possibility of it catching on the axel guard. The rubber that i put on doesn't appear to have made any difference. I never had this problem before fitting the tank guard and I can't work out why it is so bad? I have spoke to south down but they have been unable to give any advise as they have not had this before. I have fitted new dampers but still have the same problem. I think I am going to have to go to an expert and see if they can work it out.... but not sure who to go and ask! With the original tow hitch you did not know there was a trailer attached, which makes things even more confusing as the southdown is attached in the same places!
If any one has any ideas or knows a tow hitch specialist in the Telford area I would be greatfull [-o<

Do you have an Anti Roll Bar fitted, if you do this might be fouling on the tank guard when under load, it happened on mine.
The cure is simple enough, just put a thick spacer between the chassis mount and the anti roll bar mount, I put a piece of 2" square box section between mine and its no problem now.
If you need a photo to show you, let me know and I'll email one to you.

Jonny Boaterboy:
I have put spacers on already but I only get the problem when the unladen trailer is attached with nothing on the hitch there's no problems?
Range Rover Blues:
Jonny, are you sure it's not just the detachable drop plate that rattles on the pins?
Mine does when it's only loaded lightly or with an empty twin axle trailer, load it up and it's much quieter.
