There is a reset procedure for the oil level sensor, TSB attached

All the Spanish automatics had a dpf

Yes, you can splice the wires. Personally I would advise getting a proper kit that plugs into the wiring loom below the left rear light as this far more reliable.

It depends. If you are going to load it to or above the maximum capacity then go off road at high speed you will crack most pickup chassis. If you live somewhere where rock salt is applied to the roads, the pre 2010 chassis were more prone to corrosion which weakened the chassis until it broke.

Somewhere around 4km of cable. It will keep you out of trouble for a while.

If you have a read through the Exedy website, they talk about how their single mass flywheel and clutch assembly have been designed to emulate a dual mass without the downsides. Whilst not the only manufacturer of dual mass replacements, they seem to be the one of choice. In other words, you...

Your diagnosis looks correct. As you said, the easiest method to resolve this would be the blanking plate with hole and bypassing the cooler.

Not sure what is broken with your egr cooler, it's just a section of square tube around the air tube with coolant circulation. I've changed the egr which was fiddly enough, so guessing the cooler is equally difficult. You could put a new cooler on, or blank the egr (with 8mm hole) and bypass...

The other option is to jack up front wheel, with the engine running but main gearbox in neutral, switch it to 4hi. Then see if you have released any wind up by turning the wheel in the air by hand. You should hear the actuator on the transfer box operating when you operate the switch. If no...

And check the trailer socket.

Did you follow the instructions in the workshop manual that you should refill the system at no more than 1.5 litres per minute? If you put the coolant in more quickly, it will bleed out eventually.

Mine had a loose connection where the cooler to engine hose meets the flapper/her valve, just needed a wipe down and tighten.

Yes, they have a rubber core, as does the 2.5. Vibration damping and all that...

There's a switch on the gearbox (looks like a spark plug).

From a UK/EU perspective double cab pickups can generally be up-plated to 7T Gross. So yes, if the trailer was fully loaded to 4.67T it would be overweight considering the 2.1T plus passengers for the tow vehicle. I've seen a few on long hills, as you can guess they go pretty slowly.
