Has anyone ever used a BMW E61 525i auto for towing? If so I'd be interested in learning how it performs and what sort of MPG it returns. I'm considering replacing my old V70 TDi auto with the BMW. For a car that's almost 20 years old the V70 performs very well but is only returning about 26 AMPG while towing the new van…
With the current anti-diesel talk going on at the moment and possibility of high taxation in the not too distant future what are your experiences of petrol towcars? I've bee towing with diesels for over 20 years and we are just looking to change our Honda CRV. for something similar. My main concern is that most petrol…
Couldn't help but notice over the weekend a fair number of cars towing caravans without extended mirrors. Some I noticed as they arrived on site and a couple whilst travelling. We went for a walk in Henley on Thames and I watched a newish Volvo towing a caravan slow to a halt on a one way road because he was passing a…

Hello. I'm about to collect my new Sterling (Swift) caravan fitted with LED lighting and I will be towing with a 2008 Volvo V70 SE.

I had a towbar and 13 pin socket fitted by an independent fitter using a dedicated wiring kit to my 2015 Ford Kuga. The test rig used by the guy who fitted it shows that all lights are working. When hitched, I…

Quite impressed in the showroom, but has anyone any experience of towing with a hybrid at all?
Hi all, as subject really.

Due to my work situation changing I will no longer have use of the vehicle, so am looking for…
