We went and test drove some cars yesterday. My partner has fallen in love with the Touareg! Thank you all for the advice it certainly has helped us with what to look for specs wise etc. I think it really came down to the BMW X5 and the Touareg in the end. Whilst the BMW is such a luxury...

Hello. Our caravan weighs 1724kg and car gross weight is the car is 2800kg which makes our outfit over 3.5 tonne. According to the gov website my car and trailer for my license can not exceed 3.5 tonne? I passed my driving test in 2019 but on the back my license I have the letters AM, B and...

No? Can you recommend a Merc to look at please

We currently have a Volvo XC60 D5 manual towing an Elddis Avante 840 (1725kg). We are now looking at selling the Volvo and buying a bigger car. The Volvo tows the caravan fine but it is close to the 1800kg tow capacity and we want to be able to take bikes etc with us next year, so after scouring...

Hello We have traded our single axle 1380 kg (Laden weight) for an Elddis Avante 840 which is 1725kg (laden) twin Axle Our 2016 Volvo XC60 AWD manual r-design towed our single axle easily. But according to what we have seen online the new van is 93% tow capacity. Does anyone tow twin Axles...

We have used white toothpaste and it has removed the scuff really well. applied the toothpaste to a handheld polishing pad and then a light circular motion along the scratch. However where the decal is, the toothpaste did not work. Tried DW40 on the decal and no luck. The toothpaste also...

We have the Auto Glym Super Resin Polish Complete kit, So we can try that now. Any do's or dont's you can recommend please? We will clean the area before applying. Do we go along the scratch or can we do a circular wiping motion? Do we leave it on for a few minutes? Wash it straight off...

Hello We was towing down a country lane, come head to head with a tractor and ended up with a full length scuff down the side of our caravan caused by the dense bushes. You can only see the scuff/scratch when the sun light is on the van and you are within 10ft of the van. We have a swift...

All we can do in that respect is wait for the dealer to call us and discuss options with them. Since January I have been measuring diesel in my Nissan Juke. So I fill up at garage write down the litres I put in and then note the miles on the car, at the next fill up I can then work out the...

We picked up the caravan using my dad's Sorento so we cant go off that. We have towed Caravan a few times completely empty to the storage place etc, roads are very flat where we live so there was no struggle at all. The best mpg we have had out the car (not towing and no considerable weight...

The Mondeo is lovely when not towing, its a very responsive car, goes up the gears well, accelerates as expected etc we usually get about 44mpg.

Good Morning, Thank you to everyone who has replied. The caravan does not have a motormover. However we did drain all water out the system and the handbrake was fully off as we had manoeuvre the van ourselves to the car to hook it up due to the pitch we was on. My partner had a look on the...
