Did you register and update to the newest firmware on your Foxwell?
If you register it you'll get email notifications on firmware improvements to correct software bugs/issues.

I learned today that when you lock your D2 doors with key fob and hold the button for few seconds the headlights illuminate to light your way.

Still have a leak

Literally, if the flange was a 1/2" either way it would have been no big deal. Naturally said bolt stripped and I had to summon the fury and magical lure of a hammer and vice grip to get it off. Bleh. Replaced all hardware after all that.

Just gotta add fluid now and hopefully that stopped the leak..

is that the leak dripping onto the cat? I'd take a look at the intermediate shaft... just next to the fill plug. However the opposite side is more likely to leak. Determine where the highest point of oil exists, and work down from there
