    You don't say anything about the state of tune.
    If it's still at factory settings it will be very lazy.
    I usually change up at around 2k or so when driving normally.

    The 50mm hitch usually has a collar at the opening, but it's not present in your pic.

    If you're in Melbourne I have a near new S4 tow bar that's surplus to requirements.

    I never tried towing 3.5T in stock trim. I'd guess not much fun.

    No issues at all towing 3T with a 12mm pump.

    I had the GVM of my '99 TD42T wagon upgraded here:

    https://statewide4x4.com.au/

    Happy with the work and the result.
    The unladen ride is very comfortable.

    The GCM is unchanged at 6540kg.

    I wonder if they've allowed your GCM upgrade because it's still well below the factory TD42 GCM.

    Some have reported they can access the drain plug with a few socket extensions from inside the wheel arch.

    Passenger side/rear of the block

    82914

    It can be difficult to access in the car.
    If it's a factory turbo, cracking the turbo coolant line banjo bolt and allowing it to drain is much easier.
