No call from the Dealer Principal on Monday or Tuesday, despite the Fleet Manager promising that I'd get a call on Monday ! I wonder if the dealership thinks I'll just forget about this & leave them alone if they ignore me ? Err, wake up, Evans Halshaw & Citroen, I am most definitely not giving...

Lappy, my post referred to the manager not knowing the LADEN weight of his caravan, not the UNLADEN weight. The unladen weight is immaterial in terms of towing limits, it's the actual weight of the trailer being towed that matters, but you're right, a trip to a Weighbridge could be in order for...

I visited the Citroen dealer yesterday & spoke to one of their managers, who tows a caravan, so is familiar with towing limits, noseweight, etc. (although, to be honest, he said he'd never checked his caravan's laden weight or noseweight & seemed to think a caravan's weight depends on the number...

Thanks Prof John, the 'S' value for the towbar itself is 54kg, so that's not a problem. The 36kg limit is Citroen's own !imit for the car. The Caravan & Motorhome Club information on noseweight infers that the EU directive (95/48) relates to a car's noseweight limit, rather than a towbar's, so...

Hi, this is my first post on this forum, so please bear with me. We bought a new Citroen C3 Picasso last September and chose the 1.2 'Puretech' turbo petrol engined version as we wanted to tow a small caravan and, unusually, the Citroen towing limit is higher for petrol C3 Picassos than for...
