Hi All,

I really need some sound advise as i am a complete novice. I have just purchased a used van Abi Jubilee 4 berth 1991. The problem in have is that my car is a 52 reg vectra 1.8 petrol. Is this car strong enough to tow the van? or should i use my wifes peugot 406 1.9td which is diesel but a lot older R reg.

PLEASE HELP.

I lOOK FORWARD TO HEARING ANY ADVICE.

Hi Anthony

You should really have posted in the `towcar` section to get much response.

I used to have a `P` reg Peugeot 406 TD back in `99, which towed fine but was certainly not a ball of fire.

The Vectra would be equally adept, but probably thirstier and you may have to use the gearbox more.

Without knowing the cars histories (mileage, maintainance etc) I would say the `coin is in the air`.

Certainly if the Pug is in good nick and well maintained, I wouldn`t discount it just because of its age.
