Hi all, I know this
forum is about exploring Oz, but PradoPoint seems to have s#$t itself. Again.
I got a Hayman Reese towbar installed yesterday and now the height control make a very loud rattling when trying to go up.
Could the install have anything to do with the rattle?
The guy was playing with a black bottle looking thing which lives in the rear quater where the wiring was done.
I'm not sure how the height control works, electric or air so cant diagnose it myself.
I'll give them a call either way
Thanks

There must be an air compressor, electrically operated, to create pressure for the
suspension airbags. Not sure why a towbar fitter would be touching that.
Perhaps he has relocated some of the items in the rear quarter and they now don't have their sound insulation .
Does it go up? if not, he has obviously altered or interfered with the OE parts or the position valves.
Again, can't imagine why he would need to touch it. It isn't to do with the towbar. Might be best to get an opinion from somewhere else as the fitter can give you red herrings and bum steers by speaking to you and therefore hiding what the real situation is. Informed about what the problem is, is preferrable to simply trusting them again to make good.
It should all be tested BEFORE leaving their premises and any shortcomings rectified prior to your pickup of the vehicle.
