    Peugeot 807 2..0 HDi 110

    Yes I own a 2004 model. I liked the 806 before even more but the 807 is a great tow car. I tow a 1300kg mplw single axle 6 birth.

    New to caravanning- need help to choose tow car

    You have some dilemma! You need a car for a growing family and at the same time you will want comfort and economy. I have been here too , I now have five children and you may appreciate that I have been where you are, before all of mine were born. It worth thinking way ahead. You may only...

    Chysler Grand Voyager

    Thanks Dan- thats very useful. Unfortunately I can only get the Grand Voyager now as a 2.8 diesel and it also has to have the suto box. Is your car an auto? I cannot deny I've also looked at some manual 2.5TD (used) Grand Voyagers. Sadley though, these do not seem to feature Stow and Go as...

    Chysler Grand Voyager

    Okay - I'll tyake a look at the new Sedonna. I'll also take a look at the Routemaster Bus as per yuor comment. I've written to the council to ask them to remove that low railway bridge out-side my house and my wife says my singing of 'we're all going on a summer holiday' will doubtless keep...

    The kia sedona is a good car but I need every of the 7 seats (Or perhaps 6 on the odd day). From what I have seen the rear 3 person seat is a 50 50 split which means if you take one-half out, you lose 1.5 seats. Sadley this is not a compromise I can accept. The rear seat on the Grand...

    New to towing - looking for advice and reassurance

    All of the comments i have read are good ones. The 'inertia/plundger' type braking system on your trailer can on braking cause and clunk (compression) and clunk on pulling away (expansion) A plunger properly greased and with the brake shoes properly adjusted should give only a little thud...

    Thanks for your experiences on the Grand Voyager. Have you towed both single and double axle with this and was anything noted about the exp with each?

    Renault Espace 2.o litre TD Thanks for the comment. I have not looked at the Espace primarily because it does not have rear sliding doors. My family members include the disabled and if you have ever tried to lift someone into a seat, you'lll know how hard this is without a very wide door...

    Chysler Grand Voyager

    Many thanks for the comment. The voyager is an aging design but most MPV's are getting smaller. I driven it and cannot say it was that noisy. MPG was showing as 24.5 over the previous week (Including a run to a city 100 miles away). I kicked down the auto and it went quite well but I...

    TOYOTA RAV4 2.2 4d4 diesel

    RAV 4 2.2 TD My Brother is on his second new RAV and loves them but does not tow. A colleague at work has just traded in a Mondeo 2.0 TD for this car and so far towed a large single axle twice, and a brand new double axle once. Apparently very very pleased with the car.

    Hi!. I am an experienced carvanner of some years always using a diesel MPV 7-8 seater. I am looking at a new Grand Voyager 2.8 Diesel suto, with 'stow and go'. It is perhaps the car i don't want being an auto but I need all its space/capacity. I would be grateful for any comments . good or...
