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

    I tow my 2008 swift conqueror with a brand new range rover TDV8 autobiography, I'v already placed an order for the new swift conqueror 645 Its just such a perfect layout

    I was talking about the mk1 sorento with a max tow weight of 3000kg. With a maximum tow weight of 2000kg on the auto model that would make it well over a 85% match with my swift conqueror 630 with an MTPLM of 1830kg. I generally wouldnt like towing with those sort of figures also the 2.2 CRDI...

    Which large 4x4 would you recommend?

    Personally the money I paid for the range rover I wouldnt dream of taking it anywhere more extreme than a muddy campsite. I see It more as a car than an offroader, I would hate to think of any mud or rocks touching the underside of my car. I would have still bought it even if it had been rubbish...

    Transporting bikes on a VW Phaeton

    I'd be worried having the rear mouted bike rack with the caravan, I think If I had to choose one I'd opt for the roof mounted one

    Transporting bikes on a VW Phaeton

    take 2 bikes in the van and hire 2 when you get there, would be much cheaper than £325

    Kia Sorento

    how can people moan about 30mpg thats pretty good for a large 4x4, what other large 4x4s do you know which get 50mpg? The sante fe's a much lighter car with lower kerbweight so cant tow larger, heavier twin axles, It could cope with a sprite quattro or Elldis Explore twin axle but would be...

    Which large 4x4 would you recommend?

    Philspadders its inverted snobs like you who really annoy me, you clearly have a stuck up attitude towards people who can afford to buy nice things. I'v owned several of the "wag" cars you mention I had a 2001 mercedes ML270 CDI, 2003 BMW X5 3.0d, 2007 audi Q7 3.0 tdi and now a 2010 Range rover...

    Discovery 4 - Towcar of the Year 2010

    The LED running lights on my range rover look great in my eyes and soon all cars will have some form of running lights as the EU states that all cars should have them by 2012 for safety reasons. I feel that my range rover feels bigger than the Q7 did, The range rover definately has a higher...

    For attention of MikeyW

    think you read it wrong, they would never sell a 20k caravan without an alko 3004 stabiliser even 10k come with them now

    Discovery 4 - Towcar of the Year 2010

    I will need to go and have a look at the discovery 4 then, there was one in my local land rover dealer when I got my range rover at the beginning of june. Certainly they have made a massive improvement to the range rover with the new facelift, I previously looked at the range rover back in 2006...

    Discovery 4 - Towcar of the Year 2010

    I think the audi Q7's a superior car to the discovery, I now have a range rover TDV8 but loved my Q7, I'v not driven the Discovery 4 but I found the Discovery 3 to have a bit of a cheap interior and I'm not overly keen on the styling compared to the range rover or range rover sport, the...

    Finally bailey have made a decent looking caravan again

    really thats slightly off putting, It really would make the front look bad if it had stone dents wonder why they couldnt use a grp or ABS molded panel because they're always much stronger and look better because they can add attractive lines and creases

    Swift lack of shelves

    if you can afford a sterling elite searcher then why are you worried about paying a little bit extra for some shelves you obviously are not short of cash if you bought a 20k caravan

    Finally bailey have made a decent looking caravan again

    dont get me wrong the bailey unicorn is no stunner like a swift conqueror but at least bailey have gave the unicorn classy graphics, a body coloured front locker with normal bailey badge and some stylish 15 inch alloys. Think I might be ready to order the unicorn barelona soon to replace my...

    Pegasus 524

    The front locker is possibly the biggest disaster in caravan design this century I mean it was an ugly van to start with but the locker was the final nail in its coffin for me and then those glowstick handles just tacky next they'll be fitting flashing christmas lights in the sidewalls and maybe...
