My car is due for first MOT and third service on 27 April. Garage is closed, booking cancelled. Road tax is due 1st May, so I have tried to pay thye tax on line but it won't let me because I don't have an MOT. The government has given six months grace on MOTs, but they don't seem to have told the DVSA. I've tried all the…

I've been towing a caravan for almost 6 years, the first 3 with a Freelander 2 XS TD4 manual and the balance with one of the last Freelander's built, a SD4 Metropolis that only came with an auto gearbox and has a high spec with lots of features that would normally come as extras, including a full sized spare wheel. The…
Hello We're getting our first caravan in a couple of weeks and need to get mirrors so wondered if anyone tows with a BMW X4 that could recommend which ones to go for. Thanks Helen
With my car being used far less at present I'm concerned that my battery will end up flat.

The salesman suggested that buying an automatic car would bring down the weight limit to tow. I have been on the car and caravan match but the 2.2 diesel are not listed. How would I…
I don't know why...but it appears the various Vehicle Inspection agencies throughout Europe have a delight in pulling me over to inspect my outfit. I mean its not as if we have old vehicles, or exceed the speed limits of the country. The tow car is 1yr old and the caravan is just 6 mnths old. The latest such inspection was…

Below is a lengthy e-mail string which occurred between Hyundai and me regarding the lower noseweight on autos and why this is the case. Your thoughts would be very much appreciated especially…
Hello I have just bought a 2010 Kia Sportage Titan 2.0 CRDi 4WD to tow our Bailey Unicorn 2 Valencia. Our last car was a Ford S-Max that towed the caravan effortlessly, but the Kia really struggles. The caravan is well within the Kia's towing ability, but going uphill the car nearly dies and pulling away on anything but a…
