Disco 3 - Disco 4 towbar wiring

Hi. New member here but on my second Disco so I'm sure I've got a bit of experience someone might find useful!!

I recently bought a Disco 4 and decided that rather than get ripped off by the dealers I'd swap my Disco 3 towbar and electrics (all kosher LR stuff) onto my Disco 4.

It all went swimmingly and was done in a hour but when I connected my trailer I noticed that all the lights came on in the wrong order....indicators on with the brakes, tailights flashing instead of indicators etc!!

The connectors all fitted as per D3 and there was no jiggery-pokery required with the wiring loom so what's gone wrong??! I can't imagine LR would swap the whole connector/loom assembly from one model to the next??

Any help would be useful!!
Regards and thanks!! Bow down 2003 Freelander 1

Isn't it only the short loom that is different on the D4 as the 12 n and s sockets are the same. Altox GSM FBH controller thread
