Weve a kia sorento 2.5, both times on m56 and m6 travelling have experienced severe snaking and unstabled van!!! Now wondering if its the van with transverse bed layout being the issue, or is it the…
I have recently changed my tow car to the above having had a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2007 for 10 years that towed like a dream, never any problems with three different caravans. Since changing to the Kia I find that the rear of my Swift Challenger 584 my 2014 is swaying about on the motorway at 50 plus mph, I have tried…
Auto Express this week have an article about Mercedes not giving up on the Diesel they will be bringing out a "C" Class running on a standard 2L diesel paired to electric motors. First cars are due for delivery Nov 19 circa £32000 including goverment subsidies (rumoured to be reduced soon)
Hello, I recently bought a Compass Omega caravan and to cut a long story short almost got killed on the way home with it. I discovered the following day that the problem was with the car I was using(not mine) as both rear shock absorbers were shot, causing an almighty snake at 50mph. I have now had a towbar fitted to my…
I have just had a Tow Trust detachable tow bar fitted to my 2015 Volvo XC60. The 13 pin socket faces vertically down towards the road surface instead of facing directly backwards. All other cars I have had, has had the sockets facing backwards My fitter insists that this is correct (it may be having looked at the fitting…
Hi Going to change my tow car, tend to keep my vehicles for a long time, had a Sorento for a while now but fancy a change. Thinking of either a Grand Cherokee or Shogun, any thoughts on either of these cars? Have heard of rust problems with Shoguns and anyone who has either of these what fuel consumption are you getting?…
We bought our new 2016 Affinity 550 last year. Lovely caravan and we're very pleased with it. BUT we find it a stressful tow. We tow with our trusty BMW 320D estate and have found the combination less than stable. During our last time away we experienced a snake on the A303 that started with a deep rut in the road. We were…
Our 36th annual towcar competition has put a variety of the latest cars to the test – vigorous testing at that! We assessed 35 cars at the Millbrook Proving Ground, everything from driving handling to caravanability. After thorough examination and number-crunching, the results of this year’s towcar awards are in. If you…
Hi to everyone, ive just been away for our first ever weekend with our first caravan, i fitted an alko stabiliser to the caravan its the one with the red handle. My discovery has a detachable towbar but when the caravan was hooked up to the disco the red stabiliser handle would not go right down so the pads didn't connect…
When returning from France last week I put the tow bar in and made sure it was in properly by giving it a firm shake from side to side and noticed for the first time a very very slight bit of give in it, so my better half had a go and being a tad weaker than me she didn't notice anything so should I be worried about the…
