The rack had been replaced just before I bought it. Warranty expired on the car but the dealer sent me the invoice for the rack itself which had a three year warranty. The trouble with ebay buys is the company ceases trading so no warranty.
This is such a problem my local garage will only give full waranty using legit parts which is fair enough.
Dealer sourced rack and T.R.E.s and laser track = £2k sized hole in the wallet.
The difference when towing the van is astounding.A visitor from the dark side, my other vehicle is an is still an EV. Strictly speaking its SWMBO.

…and today was replacement rear propshaft (centre bearing fubar) and oil/filter change (Millers 5w40)
Much quieter now! Which means I can now hear the front diff/autobox whining away

Replaced the big intercooler hose which had the common split at the top. One of the easiest jobs on the Disco thankfully.
Also sprayed WD40 on the bolts for the front hub bearings ready for fitting new bearings while I had the wheel off.
