I would like to hear from anyone towing with the current Discovery using the 2-0 litre 240HP engine. I currently have a large caravan, plated to 2,000 kg but loaded to about 1900kg. Whilst I could go for the 3-0 litre version the current hostility against large diesels (even E6 engines is making me consider going for the…
I tow with a 2012 Tiguan with a Brink retractable towbar. Owned for 8 months. Only when towing do I get an annoying fast rattle, like a noisy vibration, at the rear of the car.

What are other club members experience of towing these size caravans in the UK (with our winding roads) Would our 2010 Volvo XC70 be a suitable match. We have 10 years towing experience.…
We are new to caravanning and purchased an Elddis 860 Supreme. The tow car is a LR Discovery Sport 7 seater HSE Lux. I read the hitch weight of the caravan is 100kgs and also the LR is 100kgs towball weight.

I have a 2014 BMW X5 with factory-fitted towbar. It does not have a fridge relay to run the fridge on 12V whilst towing. BMW and my local towbar specialist (Tow-Rite) say one cannot be fitted because the car's wiring loom is not designed to take it, others tell me it can be done at great expense by replacing part of the…
