Hi, I am looking to update my Mondeo 2009 car, not to new but more likely 2016/7. The VW Passat seems to be reasonably priced, has anyone used as a tow car? My van weighs in at 1300kg.
Hello folks... Can anyone advise me on this one: I'm contemplating fitting the rubber spring assists to the rear springs (Obviously!) of my Mondeo as it tends to drive low on the rear end when towing the caravan. Has anyone used these before on any vehicle? If you've had a Mondeo, what size rubbers do I need?... In…
I have a Bailey Ranger 540/6 (2008) and is towed by a 2002 Volvo V70 2.5 automatic. It towed lovely. Well I was coming back over the weekend from my hols at Abbey Wood (lovely site by the way) and along the A303 I had a sudden rev and the message "Transmission service required". Had a word with my garage and from Longleat…
Hi everyone, Has anyone ever used the Grayson manufactured rubber spring assisters on their tow car. All the other manufacturers seem to have holes to secure the rubber doughnut to the spring with tie wraps. However, the Grayson don't and a quick email asking the manufacturer if they needed securing came back as a simple…
I've been following a story on a FB group of someone towing a 70's Sprite around Europe with a 70's triumph stag. From what I can see there is no breakaway cable between car and caravan. I know back then it wasn't required but does anyone know how you would stand legally now, especially "over there" As per title, just…
We are using a courtesy car which has a tow bar. We are hoping to get away at the weekend so yesterday we checked our caravan hitch lock was compatible...which it is. However, we then tried to plug in the electrics but found the end of our electrics (male) was too wide to go in to the electric point on the car/tow bar…
Hi all Sorry if this isn’t a new topic. I have been thinking of having a towbar put on my works van as I have personal use on it. This would allow us to have a smaller day to day use car and the van won’t struggle in anyway. Are there any club rules against using a van? It’s just plain coloured with no sign writing on it?…
I was sure that last time I changed my tow car I accessed all the previous tow car test reports published in En Route on line. It is almost 4 years ago so I may wrong ( I often am!) but I can’t find any way to access them now. Putting an entry in the search box on the website is worse than useless so can anyone tell me…
