Gary if you look just below at my post "tow car report" that might just help.

But it refers to the new 3.0 CDI and was based on towing for about 120 miles.

i have roadtested the 3.0cdi.absolutly awsome apart from the insurance quote was out of this worldso if i do buy one it will the 2.2 with a tunning box on it which will bring it to a 60 nm torque difference and no insurance penalty.

I've just learnt that my son inlaws is an extra long wheel base version.

I was just so impressed with the beast because of the size and performance towing the caravan. The car will have a remap next week and the car has a few extra tweaks than standard.

He was told that the 2.2 has already been tweaked up in power by Mercedes and to be wary of further upgrades but after trying a 2.2 he still thought it would cope with most vans.
