Currently running a 2018 Volvo XC60 and I will be changing van from a Lunar Clubman to a Swift Elegance next month, so this will be our first caravan with LED Road Lights. Can those of you with experience of a recent Volvo confirm whether the car is compatible with the Swift road lighting or if a Sargant Box is required.…
Hi. We've just taken delivery of a new BMW complete with factory fitted shiny metallic, doesn't appear painted, tow ball. Does this need a rub down before using? Many thanks John
Hi, still looking at a potential new car for next year. A number of options are 'automatic' which may not be a bad idea in my old age. I have driven auto's so I am quite familiar with them but would be interested in views on their use as tow cars. More specifically the options in my sights atm are Ford Mondeo Powershift…
Hello Just wondered if anyone tows with a BMW X1 and how they find it? Looking at 2015/2016 facelift model.

My Ford Mondeo has a service interval of every 2 years or at 18,000 miles whichever is the sooner.

Is it common with other makes of cars or is it just another main dealer…
https://youtu.be/S4W-P5aCWJs A simplified physics of electric towing. US centric but do watch it all as the conclusion seems fair.
I am in the process of buying a new Swift Caravan. Swift say "certain vehicles may require a secondary fuse box when towing caravans fitted with LED road lighting" I tow with a 15 Plate Discovery 4 HSE and need to know whether my car is compatible or I need to fit the secondary fuse box referred to by Swift. As I will not…
