Think you are right and I don't think there is a balance or equalisation pipe between the two halfs, other than the bit of tank that goes over the top.

As yours is a 4x4 remember that the fuel tank is saddle shaped, over the rear prop shaft, so readings can sometimes take a while to stabalise and equalise between the two sides of the tank.

Others have just bought a generic satnav receiver and stuck it under the dashtop box.

A helicoil is a common and permanent repair for damaged sump plugs, and whilst it can happen on any car it isn't something I have seen reported on a Yeti here previously. Personally I'd find a better garage!

If the garage stripped the thread then they should be paying for it, not you!

Neither went. I part-exed it for my second Yeti at nearly 130k miles and there seemed to be plenty of life left in both.

The 4 wheel drive system doesn't put any extra stress on the clutch. My first Yeti did well over 100k on the original clutch, and my second one was heading well towards that when I sold it. And I was a heavy user of the 4x4 system!

Whether we like it or not, the Law is the Law. And I should add the Law allows the sounder to be replaced by a light. My Freelanders were both wired with that with the standard LR wiring loom. The bulb was already in the dash display and just needed one wire plugging in. I can only go on how my Yetis behaved and they didn't like LED bulbs fitted to the trailer so I had to replace the caravan bulbs with normal filament types. I've heard similar comments from users of other cars as well. I've heard comments that it is as quick to fit the proper loom as it is to fit the relay type. I understand on my Niro there is no other way to do it due to the complexities of the hybrid system and the fact that it has no actual 12v battery.

The regulations are confusing. The requirement is to know that the indicators AREN'T working, and how that should be done has never actually been specified. In the "old times" I've had cars that sounded when they did flash and another that sounded when they didn't! Atleast using the bulb failure system you know that they aren't. There has never been a requirement to know about any other lights, and yet I have always thought that the all the lights are important. Atleast the bulb failure system (if programmed correctly) covers all those eventualties.

Not nowadays. The Law changed sometime ago and now there only needs to be a warning if there is a fault, like a blown bulb, and the trailer indicators aren't working. On the Yeti (and many other cars) with a integrated system that is provided by the bulb failure system.

Unfortunately your photos earlier only show the socket ends of the system. The bits that could be causing the noise are hidden behind the boot liners and in and around the fuse box. A quick test to confirm whether you have a full loom or a relay type system fitted: With the trailer plugged in, ignition on, select reverse. If the full loom type fitted the mid dash screen will display a large trailer icon. With the trailer plugged in, lock the car with the fob, then unplug the trailer. If the full loom type fitted the alarm will sound. Personally I would be talking to an auto-electrician and if he can't rectify the problem have the full loom system fitted by someone who can fit that and reprogramme the car to activate the numerous systems.

Whilst that might be true, none of the relay type will integrate to the various systems that the full loom type do, like the stability control, or security systems. And to be honest they aren't that much cheaper than doing the job properly!

What type of tow bar wiring do yiu have? The proper factory type loom or the cheap (and nasty) relay type?

I regularly drove mine over rally stages and even did a few road rallies, production car trials and autotests in it and don't remember anything falling off,

If you are only a mile from work why not walk or buy a bike. From experience I can tell you that your journeys are going to kill your car.

Well the first, most obvious reason is that it is far too expensive for a Cat S. Secondly, it's got a sunroof and they leak. Yes, and I believe in unicorns! If he does that he's a TRADER.

Walk away VERY quickly!

Two choices: 1/ Buy some dubious Chinese HID bulbs and fit them in your standard headlights, but be prepared for wiring and other problems, such as continuous bulb failure system warnings. Plenty available on eBay. 2/ Find a scrap Yeti that was equipped originally with HIDs. Remove them and the complete wiring loom and retro fit those, after also reprogramming the BCU to show that they are fitted. I'm not sure about Italy but in the UK you would also need to fit headlight washers and the suspension control system for the automatic levelling of the lights.

Squib??

What would be the tax requirements of bringing it here to scrap?

Are you sure about that? I have a feeling that all diesel Yetis had Diesel Particulate Filters.

PFL Yeti?? 10776301 bulbs?? None of that is understandable. Exactly what bulbs are you talking about?

Weren't there some reports in the past about small leaks from the roof rail mountings and their bolts?

Don't thinkmI have ever seen a complete wiring diagram for a Yeti, probably due to the complexities of the CanBus system. It would be useful to know what error codes the OP is seeing before an answer can be given.

What is the intermittent fault you are getting?
