I have noticed that some car manufacturers give two kerb weights. One with the car empty. One with the car, fluids, 90% fuel and 75Kg driver. Which should be used when looking for an 85% match?
Hi All, I'm close to buying a 2016 Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi KX-3 Auto. Kerbweight etc is fine, and it has Euro 6 Specification and therefore satisfies my beloved mayor's criteria. However, it has a space saver spare tyre. If I am unfortunate enough to get a flat while towing, would the space saver be safe to carry on my…
The time has come for me to buy a new used tow car. My budget is small < £3000. Ideally, I would like to buy a SO1.9 with a tow bar already on - but they are quite scarce. Is it straightforward to have a tow bar fitted? I recall reading somewhere that it was not. Also, how much might it cost?
Can anyone recommend an A frame for towing a Toyota Aygo behind our Auto Trail
Hi all, since new my removable tow bar on my XC60 has had a small amount of play in it , on speaking to another XC60 owner about his tow bar lock I noticed his tow bar had no play in it whatsoever. Does anyone else had a similar tow bar and is there any movement in it. Thanks Alan
I'm considering the option of towing a car with my Motorhome. My wife is a little dubious though and despite my best efforts, she's yet to be persuaded. She had a bad towing experience as a child when her Dad's caravan came off on the motorway, I've got a Rapido 665F and wondered how I could find out the maximum sized…
It's time to change the tow car, 1900Kg of van needs something substantial. So, flicking through the various car reviews you can't help but notice that the reviewer was provided with the test car with a high specification. In the opinion of the reviewer (who just happens to have the air suspension option fitted to the test…
I've recently taken my 1 year old Coachman Kimberley Vision 450 in for its first service. During the service, Kimberley noted the spring under the A frame is bent. They have contacted AL-KO who have said this occurs in one of two ways - 1. when delivering the caravan, the delivery driver hooks onto the spring assembly when…
I obtained my driving license after September 97 and only have category B entitlement. I was under the understanding that provided my GVW+MTPLM didn't exceed 3500 Kgs I was entitled to tow. * My caravan is 1100 Kg (re-plated xplore 304) * My car is 2140 Kg (kia carens) So I assumed I was fine to tow in the UK and Europe…
We are in the process of looking at a Korando. The dealer has offered us both the 2.2d 2 wheel LE and the 2 litre petrol LE at quite reasonable cost. We have at present a 2.6 petrol Santa Fe auto which does 19 per gallon on a good day. Question is which version to go for. We drag a Bailey Pegasus 534 around MTPLM1482 MRO…
