3 Weeks In...

Three weeks into ownershop of my very first Landy and settling into thequirks of a TD5 Defender. Wonderfull machine! Its my main form oftransport and everytime I come home from work in it I'm grinning from ear toear. Can't wait to get back out in it. Bags of character, no other vehicleI've owned has ever done that for me. I feel like Ray Mears.Couple of questions someone might be able to answer for me though:When I indicate, the traffic indicator on the dash blinks as you wouldexpect but just for the first blink of the indicator, a green symbol of atrailer also illuminates? I don't have a tow bar or tow electrics fitted -is this normal? (I'm still under warranty so no big problems sorting itout).Also, starting from cold on the morning, 2nd gear can be a bit of a pig toget into but once I've warmed up it gets easier. This could be me adjustingto the life of the Landy (last vehicle was a Golf GT TDI) but I alsowondered if it was anything to do with the way I'm leaving it parked on mymoderately sloping drive overnight? I reverse up and leave in reverse withthe handbreak on?Still Grinning...Dennis
