    Rover 75 2.0 CDT Tourer

    As James pointed out the 75 has a 100kg noseweight which for an estate of any sort is very good. I can't get my 534 below about 112kg even though the spare wheel is under the floor and behind the wheels. It has a motor mover fitted but so close to the axle I couldn't see that as a problem...

    Rover 75 2.0 CDT Tourer

    Hello John, I have been towing with a 75 Tourer for over 2 years and it is an auto. It has the MG chip for 130bhp and I tow an Elddis 534. The car is more than capable, we went to Switzerland last year and on the motorways pulls happily at 60+ (I won't say what speed because it annoys some who...

    Fast towing

Reckon it...

    4X4

    Harry, now your talking!! I was thinking when I wrote the thread that the Cayenne was the only one that is truly FAST! But the thought of a van on the back of a Porsche is great! Have you seen the spoof advert for them on the PCGB or ddk-online websites? I wish I could afford one as well

    4X4

    You've got to laugh. Isn't it amazing, Gary makes a simple observation and suddenly the world erupts with indignation from all the people who drive 4 x 4s. What I find interesting is that these people seem to have to justify themselves. Why? He didn't accuse anyone of doing anthing wrong. What...

    movers

    Had a Powrtouch fitted last year and found it invaluable. The van goes beside the house with a one foot gap one side and 2 inches the other (yes, 2 inches). It goes across the lawn slightly uphill for about 40 feet,(jockey wheel leading, with a standard jockey wheel and 85 amp hour battery...

    Elddis Avante 534

    Water leak from the shower room tap causing wet carpet in front of the toilet door. Took the panel off and blanked it off. It can get sorted on its first service. Apart from that the van has been very good, hope I'm not tempting fate though!
