    Unhitching! What am i doing wrong please?

    Ray, i was not being aggressive. If Martin_E had explained himself a little better, than the above and in a non patronising manner, i would have instantly gathered what he was saying and taken that VERY GOOD advice on board. The assumption that has been made by several is that because i...

    What car/4 x 4/ MPV do you tow your TWIN AXEL with

    I tow my Eldiss Scirroco twin Axle with a Renault Clio 1.5dci. So far it has been exemplary although on occasions the brakes do smell a bit hot! Pouring cold water over the wheels seems to relieve this. Darryl

    Which large 4x4 would you recommend?

    In response to Jo-Anne's recommendation, read the below link. The Disco 4 has even managed to better the Disco 3 in the latest poll! Why oh why do people buy them. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1296607/Land-Rovers-voted-nations-unreliable-cars-consumer-watchdog.html
