I downloaded a big ALKO document last night.Time might be to allow for starting the job, seeing what is needed, getting those parts delivered, and then finishing the job. Being rural it is not uncommon for even the simplest jobs taking 2 days because of limited parts deliveries.
So sorry about the wheelchair fing.Nearly finished, I have got to go in tomorrow so will be wheelchair bound as I still can't walk far.

Dug in to see worrit was and somefink has hidden what eye fink is the end piece of a hollowed oot solid loaf ov bread. Eye has put it in me garden bin.
I don't get the braking thing. My trailer brakes only engage on sudden deceleration. If I use the engine on a down hill section they won't engage any more than if I feather the brakes.I downloaded a big ALKO document last night.
Very illuminating. Told me things I never knew.
Like it isn't clever on long down hill sections to use engine braking. Apparently it leaves the trailer brakes on for too long at a time.
Cheers Stan, it is only for work as we have three buildings and I cannot walk far enough to traverse between them. I am ok at home as the bungalow is tinySo sorry about the wheelchair fing.
Do hope you soon get out of it.
Good to hear this.Cheers Stan, it is only for work as we have three buildings and I cannot walk far enough to traverse between them. I am ok at home as the bungalow is tiny
Ours engage gently when I brake, going down hill, if they didn't then the Disco's brakes would have to cope with the Disco's weight and the 3.5 towed weight. It is obvious as you drive cos the braking effort at the pedal is no more than if I wasn't towing.I don't get the braking thing. My trailer brakes only engage on sudden deceleration.

They only engage when I hit the brakes with some force. Are yours coupled or electric like they use in the USA?
