We are thinking of downsizing our caravan to an small 2 berth tourer, with a kerbweight of approx 1000kg. Has anybody any experience or thoughts of towing with a Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost. Matching guide on caravan club website says its a match, but just wondered if anyone had towed with this car, or any helpful comments
Good evening all! We have recently come back to touring after the birth of our son. We bought an Abbey Cardinal 6 berth caravan MTPLM of 1490kg back on the summer for a decent price. We have been away 3 times so far in her and it's safe to say we are loving having a van again and the freedom it brings! Trouble is I'm…
My Ford Mondeo has a service interval of every 2 years or at 18,000 miles whichever is the sooner. I have been told that Ford now recommend a change of brake fluid every two years - ie at every service in my case. This seems to be a new recommendation.

As I will not…

Hi - did you buy a new Santa Fee in 2017 under Hyundai's affinity scheme if so you may have been influenced by the offer of two years free servicing as advertised in the Club Magazine. Rather than placing your reliance in the Hyundai advertisement in good faith as i did you my wish to check if your service plan was a…
I'm currently driving a big Mercedes ML350 AMG but if i'm really honest it's bigger than I really need and as my days of caravanning are probably in their final season, I am casually looking round for a suitable replacement. But I really dislike small cars and I like cars with all wheel drive and a decent raised viewpoint.…
Just started my caravan adventures and bought an Ace Morning Star 2006 and after some enquires with Westfalia for the Tow Hitch for my new Passat Estate Gte. I was first alarmed at the response from the Market leading and Vw Supplier saying that Hybrids cannot tow Where in fact the Passat can TOW 1625KGS comfortably and…
The response by Martin Spencer in the current magazine to the letter headed "Electric Shock" completely misses the point. His argument centered on the improvements yet to be made, many of them 5 to 10 years away. The original letter was about a 2019 Tow Car of the year and its inadequacies. The Jaguar IPace is a tow car at…
