I would like to know whether anyone else has had problems with the lights on their Equitrek trailers when being towed by Land Rover Discoveries.
I ordered a new Equitrek Show Treka L in the summer of 2010 and was told it would be delivered in mid-October 2010. I was charged and paid over £13,000 for it in October. However it was not delivered until mid January 2011.
The lights at the front, some of the lights to the rear of the trailer including the brake lights and the internal camera do not work. I have taken my car, a 57 reg Land Rover Discovery, to the garage twice to have the electrical feed checked and they have shown me that there is nothing wrong with it and that all of the lights on a trailer board are fully operational from my car.
The only other person I know with an Equitrek trailer and a Land Rover Discovery found that the front lights of her trailer did not work either when coupled to her car. Her Equitrek dealer realised that the LED lights at the front of her trailer were incompatible with the Discovery and changed them to ordinary lights which solved the problem. Equitrek has not yet agreed to change the lights at the front of my trailer to ordinary ones or offered a solution to the problems I am having.
I would very much like to know whether anyone else has had the same or similar problems and how they were solved. I am concerned as even if the lights at the front of the trailer were changed to ordinary ones the lights at the back of the trailer and the power feed to the internal camera would still not work.
I do feel upset and frustrated as I cannot use the trailer and continue to have to pay transportation costs.
